Story of Bali, Indonesia

Peliatan Legong

Any day is a lucky day to arrive in Bali. Every visitor knows that, and the Balinese are quick to remind you:

"Lucky you arrived today - big temple festival this afternoon."

"Lucky you arrived today - full moon tonight."

One of the charms of Bali is that you can never put toe in the place without running head-on into a spate of festivals and ceremonies.

Not surprisingly, I was greeted in similar fashion: "Lucky you came today, Peliatan Legong Dance tonight - Elephant Day Festival commences tomorrow."

Whatever the Elephant Day Festival was, tomorrow could take care of itself. But the Peliatan Legong was something else. It was the reason for my coming to Bali.

I had seen this group in Sydney and, when the show was over, 1 had staggered out of the theatre, my senses numbed from the positive bombardment of sound and spectacle I'd just been exposed to, vowing one day to visit the tiny island that produced such magic.

Now, to touchdown and hear that the Peliatan Legong would perform that same evening I Jet lag? Forget it! Where was Peliatan and how did one get finere?

in Bali we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely purified ancestors who are considered as divine.
No contact is sought with the pirata, the dead who have not yet been cremated. Oil the contrary they are dangerous, Offerings must however be made for the redemption of their souls.
