Mount Bromo in the context of "Natural"

Nature is an inherent character or constitution, particularly of the ecosphere or the universe as a whole. In this general sense nature refers to the laws, elements and phenomena of the physical world, including life. Although humans are part of nature, human activity or humans as a whole are often described as at times at odds, or outright separate and even superior to nature.

During the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries, nature became the passive reality, organized and moved by divine laws. With the Industrial Revolution, nature increasingly became seen as the part of reality deprived from intentional intervention: it was hence considered as sacred by some traditions (Rousseau, American transcendentalism) or a mere decorum for divine providence or human history (Hegel, Marx). However, a vitalist vision of nature, closer to the pre-Socratic one, got reborn at the same time, especially after Charles Darwin.

The Cemoro Lawang (also known as Cemorolawang, Cemora Lawang, or Cemara Lawang) is a very small hamlet north-east of Mount Bromo (East Java), Indonesia with an altitude of 2,217 meters above sea level. Administratively, this hamlet is a part of Ngadisari Village, Sukapura, Probolinggo Regency. Cemoro Lawang is one of many routes that point to Tengger Caldera from the Probolinggo route. There is a viewpoint to see Mount Batok and Mount Bromo. It is principally a base for early morning climbs of Mt Bromo, an active volcano that stands in the middle of a Sand Sea. Many visitors approach the mountain from Surabaya which is about three hours drive away; others come from Bali.

The Tenggerese people are a sub-ethnic group of Javanese in eastern Java who are centered in the isolated Tengger mountains (Mount Bromo) in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in eastern Java. The majority of the Tenggerese population profess Java Hinduism as their religion. They are the only Javanese ethnic group who have remained Hindu since the Majapahit era after the Osing people, who have been Islamized.

Scattered communities of Tenggerese also exist in the Pasuruan, Probolinggo, Malang, and Lumajang regencies of eastern Java. They are traditionally believed to be the descendants of the legendary Roro Anteng and Joko Seger. The Tenggerese are considered an ethnic sub-group of the Javanese people. Tengger people do not have a caste system. Their traditions are rooted in customs originating from the Majapahit Empire.
