28/06/15, Negari is a village in
Klungkung-Bali held a Cremation Ceremony (Ngaben).
The ceremony lasted for quite a while because there are several stages before
and after burning ceremony. Before discussing the Cremation Ceremony in Banjar Negari,
Klungkung-Bali, first we will discuss about what Ngaben or Cremation Ceremony
is.
Ngaben or cremation ceremony is a
ceremony that very famous not only in Indonesia, but also in worldwide. Besides
Hindu, cremation ceremony is also done by the other religions. However, Ngaben in
Bali always attracts tourists to observe directly this ceremony. As I know, Balinese Ngaben Ceremony or Cremation Ceremony, is the ritual
performed in Bali to send the ceased to the next life. It is a sacred and important ceremony for Balinese Hindu. The family hopes
that human corpse relative will go to heaven and could reincarnate as a better
person or even moksha (united with God).
Well, I want to share some pictures of Ngaben Ceremony in
Banjar Negari, banjar in Balinese
society is the smallest social unit.

Balinese Hindu believe that mortality is not the end of the life, but the beginning for a new better life.
