Actualy, this is the first time I heard this very unique tradition. It is a war Ketupat from Bangka Belitung province. Ketupat war is one of the traditional ceremony Tempilang in Bangka Belitung. The ceremony is held to celebrate Ramadhan. The war is conducted with a variety of equipment, start from Ketupat, two person show host, participants and other traditional arts. At the end of the event will conclude with a ceremony Nganyot Perae, the toy boat wood washed away into the sea. The ceremony was meant to take the spirits home. So they do not disturb people of Tempilang. You can click this site to know more about Ketupat war http://tripholiday.net/ketupat-war.html.
