Bali Aga rituals

Bali Aga rituals are traditional ceremonies practiced by the indigenous Balinese communities known as Bali Aga, who preserve ancient customs distinct from mainstream Balinese culture. These rituals often involve offerings, prayers, and dance performances to honor ancestors and deities, seeking spiritual harmony and community well-being. They are characterized by their preservation of older Hindu traditions, with ceremonies conducted at sacred sites like temples and ancestral shrines. These rituals play a vital role in maintaining cultural identity, reinforcing social bonds, and connecting the community with their spiritual heritage.
