The Biggest Ngaben, Ever

Yesterday, a biggest ngaben ceremony was held in Ubud. As we know, ngaben is a Balinese tradition to ’send’ people to nirvana. In this moment, there are 3 persons that will be burned, they are family from Puri Agung Ubud. They are Tjokorda Gde Agung Suyasa which died on 28 Maret 2008, Tjokorda Gede Raka, and ash from Desak Raka.

Their body were placed on 28.5 metres (it’s about 100 feet) tower and some people lift the tower to Pura Dalem, the place where ngaben will be held.

Since those people were royal family, that’s no wonder why this ngaben event is becoming the biggest ngaben ever made.
