On
Budha Wage Klawu (in Balinese Calendar), February 19’ 2014 there was a ceremony
taking place in the 3rd stage of Besakih Temple compound. It was a ‘Melaspas,
Ngenteg Linggih, Nubung Pedagingan in a clan temple of Bendesa Manik Mas. The
ceremony is different from the one which is annually held; in Balinese
teachings, today’s ceremony is aimed at gaining bliss and welfare to mankind
and all living creatures of the island. Some also say that the ceremony is to
ease negative aura of our realm and make it balance to gain prosperity for
human being.
I
just had a little tour on Thursday morning to the temple. We left early in the
morning to avoid traffic and bundle of people at the temple. The morning trip
did not take much time as usual; it took just an hour to get there. A clear
blue sky and gleamy sun shine took our vehicle go faster, passing chilly
atmosphere of Kintamani. After arriving at the outer yard of the temple, we saw
not too many people attending the ceremony (we thought because it was too early).
Stepping further north, looking at the exalted steps made us so passionate to
get to the temple. Arriving at the Bendesa Manik Mas clan temple, we saw the
priest leading the offerings. It was a great joy having attended the ceremony
and got blessing from the God. Wishing you were there…..
If
you are wondering how beautiful it is during the ceremony, plan your tours with
us.
