THE PRINCESS OF THE TONG SETAN

"Karmila Purba takes a lot of flack for her choice of profession. She rides a modified motorbike around the sides of a Tong Setan – or “Satan's barrel” – what Indonesians call the carnival attraction commonly known as the "Wall of Death."

While critics accuse her of not being a "good woman" for working in the male-dominated carnival world, others applaud her for breaking stereotypes in the conservative country.

Purba’s loyal followers have even given her a nickname – "Princess of the Tong Setan"."
