Original – A dancer from
Sanata Dharma University's troupe Sekar Jepun performing
panyembrama, a secular Balinese dance created to perform in front of tourists and thus protect the sacral dance forms.
Reason
Shows the dance and the flower dish very well, representative of the dance
Support - It's a very nice photo. (I am puzzled by the use of "sacral" instead of the more common "sacred" in both the caption and the article.)

Sources aren't clear why they use "sacral" rather than "sacred". My understanding is that the dances per se are not sacred, but are associated with sacred rites (and thus "sacral"). —

In the spirit of cooperation, not aggressively pushing a point of view, I'd like to point you to the first two definitions of "sacred" on Wiktionary. These definitions make it clear that in these senses, "sacral" and "sacred" are synonyms. Thus, in order to avoid the confusion with the other definition of "sacral", I think "sacred" should be used, plain and simple. Another thing we could do is find the person who wrote this article and ask him/her for his/her opinion.

Support – It must have been fabulous to watch these dancers and thanks to Crisco we have it captured in a series of stunning photos; as Hafs says above, easily room for this one as well ...
