00:17.680 --> 00:19.847
ritual that happens around mid-January

00:19.847 --> 00:22.069
where communities come together to burn

00:22.069 --> 00:24.180
their New Year's decorations with the

00:24.180 --> 00:26.236
intention of manifesting good health

00:26.236 --> 00:26.530
and safety in the coming year .
