 General statement
Ngaben is the first phase of ceremonial cleansing atma
(roh) as the sacred obligation of Balinese Hindus to their
ancestors by carrying out the procession of burning
corpses. As written in the article about the pitra yadnya,
the human body consists of a rough body, subtle body
and karma. Human rough bodies are formed from 5
elements called Panca Maha Bhuta, namely pertiwi
(solid), apah (liquid), teja (heat substance) wind (wind)
and akasa (vacuum). These five elements combine to
form the physical human being and are moved by atma
(spirit). When a human dies, the dead are just a rough
body, the atma is not. Nah ngaben is the process of
cleansing atma / spirit when leaving a rough body.
 UNDERSTANDING NGABEN

Ngaben is the first stage of the cleansing ceremony of Atma (spirit) as a sacred
obligation of Balinese Hindus to their ancestors by carrying out a procession of
burning dead bodies. As written in the article about yadnya pitra, the human body
consists of a rough body, subtle body and karma. The gross human body is formed
from 5 elements called Panca Maha Bhuta, namely pertiwi (solid), apah (liquid),
teja (heat) wind (wind) and akasa (vacuum). These five elements combine to form
a physical human being and are driven by atma (spirit). When a human dies, the
dead person is just a rough body, not atma. Nah ngaben is the process of cleansing
atma / spirit when leaving a rough body.
 FORMS OF NGABEN CEREMONY
Ngaben Sawa
Wedana
Sawa Wedana is a Ngaben ceremony involving a
body that is still intact (without being buried first).
Usually this ceremony is carried out within 3-7 days
from the day the person died. Exceptions usually
occur at ceremonies on the Main scale, where
preparation can take up to a month. While the
family prepares everything for the ceremony, the
body will be placed in a traditional hall in each
house by giving certain ingredients to slow the
decay of the body. Today the administration of
herbs is often replaced with formalin use. As long
as the remains are still placed in the traditional hall,
the family still treats the body as it should still be
alive, such as bringing coffee, feeding beside the
corpse, carrying towels and clothes, etc. because
before the ceremony called Papegatan the person
is considered sleeping and still in his family.
