The way Gede explained it to us: Everyone belongs to his family temple, every family temple belongs to one of 3 or so village temples, each village temple belongs to 2 or so regional temples. Then there are temples for special interests...arts, knowledge, historical events, etc. And then there is the Mother Temple, which encompasses all. As you can see...ritual and ceremony are as much a part of everyday life in Bali as breathing. |
