Cremation in balinies hindust tradition is symbolization about "pralina" or back our body to the earth and our soul to the heaven (wkphotography).
Balinese
Hinduism is widely divergent from the
Indian Hindu orthodoxy. As such, most practices of the Indian Hindu "mainstream" are ignored and abandoned, especially regarding the use of
butter.
Balinese Hindu dead are generally buried for a period of time, which may exceed one
month or more, so that the cremation ceremony (
Ngaben) can occur on an
auspicious day in the
Balinese-
Javanese Calendar system ("
Saka"). Additionally, if the departed was a court servant, member of the court or minor
noble, the cremation can be postponed up to several years to coincide with the cremation of their
Prince. Balinese funerals are very expensive and the body may be interred until the family can afford it or until there is a group funeral planned by the village or family when costs will be less. The purpose of burying the corpse is for the
decay process to consume the
fluids of the corpse, which allows for an easier, more rapid and more complete cremation.
