Life, death, rebirth. This cyclical conception of existence lies at the very heart of Balinese Hinduism. During each life on earth the eternal 6oul occupies a temporary vessel - the physical body - which at death must be returned to the panca mahabhuta, the five elemental substances: solid, liquid, radiance, energy and ether. Only then can the soul be released and reincarnated. Of all Balinese rituals, the cremation (pangabenan, palebon) is the most complex, lasting for many days and culminating with the spectacular burning of not only the corpse, but of vast quantities of valuable ritual objects especially created for the occasion.
