TERUNYAN
Terunyan Cemetery, nestled by Lake Batur in Bali, offers a centuries-old tradition unlike conventional burial grounds. Here, the deceased are laid to rest in the open air, surrounded by lush greenery that naturally filters any decomposition odor. Divided into sections for different social groups, families visit regularly to pay respects and offer prayers. This unique practice reflects the spiritual beliefs of the Bali Aga community, embracing the cycle of life as bodies decompose naturally on bamboo platforms. Terunyan Cemetery is a testament to Bali's cultural heritage and its deep connection to nature, reminding us of life's impermanence and the importance of living in harmony with the natural world.
