An example is the cremation ritual. Ngaben is one of the Balinese Hindu traditions to carry out death ceremonies. According to Tattwa, a person is considered dead if his atma has been separated from the five maha bhuta, this is mentioned in vrasphati tattwa (Swastika: 2008). The Ngaben ritual is carried out with a long series of activities and invites many people. In addition, this ritual also requires a relatively large range of costs. Because this death ritual is different from death rituals with other tribes, where most of the death rituals in various tribes in Indonesia are only carried out by directly burying the body.
