Wedding and Funeral in Bali are perhaps the two events to which people
prepare with special carefulness. The ceremonies both cost about
$3000-4000. The ceremony is held in a monastery conducted by a local
monk.
The input in the "restaurant" is festively decorated.
A banquet room. There are no tables - only chairs.
Even fruits are decorated.
The water is store-bought. Usual water may be used only for washing.
Pork shish kebab.
In each house is a family temple. The richer the family is - the bigger
the temple. Here people pray in the morning. A morning prayer is not so
long - about 5 minutes.
The children are very cheerful and curious.
A widespread gesture of approval.
Musicians. Prayers are sung in 2 languages – ancient and modern Bali. There is a special singer for each language.
The visitors are waiting for the ceremony. Here is a court yard of the groom. It’s big enough - one five hundred square meters.
The groom’s father. He’s a fisher. When he has free time he sings and plays in an orchestra at weddings and funerals.
Ashes are poured into a jar, carried to the nearest ocean coast and blown by the wind.
