DENPASAR, Indonesia - A Russian tourist has been deported from Bali after posting a photograph of himself half-naked atop a sacred mountain, officials on the Indonesian holiday island said on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old Russian national, who calls himself Yuri Chilikin on social media, posed naked from the waist down on Mount Agung, Bali’s highest peak, which Hindus on the island believe to be home to their gods. After being detained and questioned when the image surfaced in March, he apologised before being forced to take part in a cleansing ritual in front of the mountain.

Complaints about tourists behaving badly in Bali have been increasing in recent weeks, with Russians accused by some angry Balinese on social media of being repeat offenders.
