The Island’s Sacred Ritual Ceremony
Almost the same with Hinduism in Bali, Nusa Penida also mixed with local tradition and culture, thus almost every day you can find ceremony or festival. The whole life will be accompanied by rituals from birth until death. The birth is celebrated through the ‘penyambutan, or welcome ceremony, three Month ceremony when the child is allowed to touch the ground and given the name. Every six month celebrate otonan (birth day), after the adulation they have ‘tooth filling’ ceremony then wedding ceremony. If someone died, their family will do cremation the death body.
Temples, houses and other building are celebrated every 210 days (6 month) as the anniversary ceremony. This is one of the main reasons why we invite you come close to dive deep about all tradition where all things go in balance.
Every aspect of life is suffused with religion, but the most visible signs are the tiny offerings (canang sari) found in every certain place, street, work place, restaurant, shrines and more. These leaf trays are made daily and can contain an enormous range of offering items: flowers, glutinous rice, cookies, salt, and even cigarettes and coffee. They are set out with burning incense sticks and sprinkled with holy water
