Indonesians in West Sumatra's Padang took part in a bizarre hour-long scramble for sugar on Saturday (January 25), part of an Islamic tradition unique to the city, locals say.

Video shows men on a roof of a mosque tossing small sacks of sugar to hundreds of locals - men, women and children - competing with each other at ground level below.

The sugar is a donation from Indonesians of Indian descent, with some believing it brings blessings.

The festival is known as Serak Gulo to locals.

Thousands of people in the city of Padang, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia, January 25, 2020, follow the tradition Since Bilo. This tradition is a tradition of Padang City residents of Indian descent.
About 10 tons of sugar wrapped in cloth in Lemar from the top of the Muhammadan Mosque and three additional stages. Even if it sounds
fighting and falling, residents STILL enthusiasm and career in happiness. Not only adults, children also participate.
Tradition Since Mad in the title of the first series Jumadil Akhir lavender Islam, or commemorating Maulid Sahrul Hamid, one of the propagators of Islam in India.
In Indonesia, this tradition only exists in the city of Padang.
