Bali can be said to be one stop tourist destination for seaside , mountain, art and culture , and even religious tours.
Let us start our tour around Bali to appreciate the tourist attractions. our first destination is Ubud renowned as the center of arts and culture on the island. exotic scene of green shady trees among stretches of terraced paddy fields is a typical characteristics of the Ubud Village . No wonder world class painters such as Walter spies from Germany and Rudolf Bonnet from Holland were attracted to see the village in 1930s and decided to spend their life there. Their works of art can be seen at Museum Puri Lukisan . There is also Rudana Museum that you can visit to see the collection of more than 400 paintings and statues made by Balinese as well as overseas artists. On both sides of the roads in Ubud you can find shops, art galleries , cafes and restaurants as well as temples. Aside from being a place of worship , temples in Bali also serve as theaters for typical Balinese performances. An example is the Kecak dance. The dances sit in a circle raising their hands while humming repetitive chants. The movements describe the Ramanyana story as the monkey troops assist Rama to fight off the evil King, Rahwana. The dancers' rhythmical gestures and their magic yells alternating with the chants create a memorable Balinese atmosphere.
NGABEN
Yes. This cremation ceremony performed by Hindus in Bali that intended to deliver the spirit of the burned bodies to its eternal life. The body will be placed in the coffin and then it will be placed again in to a wood that shaped like cow or temple that made of wood and paper. Then it is carried with a special procession to the appointed place. this procession is not passing a straight road; it is intended to confuse and keep the evil spirit away from the body. The highlight of Ngaben is burning the body that has been placed in the cow and temple statue.
Having enjoyed the fascinating arts in Ubud, let us continue our journey to Kintamani.
