a number of Indonesian Chinese communities, praying to celebrate Chinese New Year 2024 at Vihara Patti Huco, Jalan Sunggal Medan, North Sumatra. They prayed that 2024 would bring blessings from the gods who brought good fortune. One by one the people present were seen putting up candles and incense while praying, but the crowd of Indonesian people also looked dense, because usually at this monastery it is very lively when celebrating Chinese New Year, p. It didn't look like the previous year because they didn't celebrate it with fireworks, this also happened because they remembered that in five days the general election victory would be held, so they celebrated Chinese New Year with a quiet week./Kartik Byma
