He met with Ida Ratu Ayu Dalem Pingit around the fir tree landing. That's where they later married and was witnessed by villagers who were hunting Landung forest. Taru incense that is what has turned into a goddess who is the wife of none other than Queen Ida Pancering universe.
Before formalizing the marriage, the Queen Cede invites the villagers to set up a pine Landung village called taru menyan the long run become Trunyanese. The village is located exactly in the district of Kintamani, Bangli regency.

But still with the body condition should be intact and no third cacat.Kuburan called bantas Setra, specifically for the disabled and deceased, who died of either starch or died of unnatural such as accidents and suicide diri.Dari three types of graves, the most interesting is the main cemetery or Setra wayah / /
This cemetery is located about 400 meters north of the village and is limited by the bulge of the cliff foot of the hill.
Most of his body from the chest to the top left open, not buried in the ground. The body is only limited by the food shelf made of bamboo to form a cone type / which is used to enclose the body.

There are seven grave and if all of the grave is full and no more new bodies will be buried mortal remains of the old raised from the pit / and the new bodies will occupy the hole.

Ghost in Bali


Ghosts!
who's afraid of ghosts? now I'll review a bit about the ghosts. not all the ghosts. Bali is only a ghost.

In china, they have a ghost that they give the name of the vampire, in the Western Hemisphere there are also ghosts that they give name vampir, but different from the vampires that exist in china.

Indonesia has a variety of ghosts, there is a named pocong, Kuntilanak and others.
others also in bali, bali is not famous ghost in a ghost like a vampire. but the ghost in Bali for me is more frightening than any other ghost. a ghost in Bali are often given a name celuluk, Rangda.

Celuluk real human is somebody who is using black magic. they usually learn science is to exact revenge on his enemies. if you crossed by celuluk, then the right then you will feel sick and can not wake up from your bed.
you will be healed if exposed Tirta (water) that has been purified.

But you do not have to be afraid to come to Bali, because that's what makes the mystical side became increasingly exotic bali

negative side of bali
