There was only one problem, and if you've ever taken a hard look at a Balinese calendar you'll know what I mean. A Balinese calendar appears more like a game of chance than a record of dates, and it does this, mark you, not by accident but by choice, and for a very good reason. Each day of every week is earmarked for special duties, so to say. One day, for instance, is good for planting trees and crops; one for animals; another for money matters, and one day, Hari Wong, is always especially propitious for human relationships, and when that occurs, watch out, and mount panic stations. Tooth filings, weddings and cremations are all saved up for Story of Bali, Indonesia celebrating on just such a day. A visitor can easily get bogged down in offerings or lose his way in the streams of people to-ing and fro-ing between various ceremonies. Kuningan, being the final day of a 10-day splurge of festivity, is like this, only more so. An incredible number of ceremonies are crammed into the bare 24-hours allotted to this one day. No-one could hope to see them all in the one day. If Kuningan had 48 hours, you'd still be pressed for time. |

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. Everything Bali Indonesia |
