Ngaben Ceremony
Ngaben is funeral ritual to send the deceased to the next life. The coffin is placed inside buffalo or temple structure made of wood,
which will be burned together with the body of the deceased at the climax of the procession.
The deceased, Tjokorda Istri Muter, was the oldest child of King Peliatan Ubud and also the aunt of current Gianyar Regent.
Born in 1922, she was a pioneer kindergarten teacher in Bali and the oldest kindergarten teacher in Bali, until she passed away on 9 April 2016.

Imam,
Great capture. You guys were very lucky to have come across this ceremony. Great. :thumbsup:
You even managed to find out the info on who the ceremony was for. :thumbsup:
We were certainly lucky to have run into the ceremony.
If we had decided not to go Ubud for luch, we would have missed it.
Porta 160 look good.
I still have some in 120 format.
One from Batu Bolong Temple

Perhaps next time I will go down and try a shot from it instead of Tanah Lot to avoid the crowds.

Ujung Water Palace.
I did not expect too much from this place, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
Decent time to while away an hour or two after the sunrise shoot.
Not overly filled with tourists (peaceful in fact).

The time certainly passed quickly at this place.
I had thought it would just be 1hr here, but we probably spent 2hrs.
The coconut drink from the stall across the road is a must try if one needs to 'water parade'
Its super huge.

The picture was first sketch/scratch on the thin wood (or not sure what they actually call it) with pre-punched hole on each left and right and set up in row. Next, they sketch/scratch it the artistic picture on those thin wood. After that coat it with their special traditional ink (to fill up those sketched/scratch gap). Lastly, wipe away residue ink from the surface of the those thin wood, tied it up and VOILA..!!!
The Traditional Balinese Motorbike..??? Err....

Mengening Beach.
It was quite a shock to see the power of the waves and tides this time round.
Totally different from the trip 2yrs back.
In hindsight, it was probably because of the abnormal tides affecting Bali during this period.
Tide was unfortunately very high.
It was on the news, even resorts with infinity pools by the beach were affected as the levels were so high and waves crashed into them.
