A massive
mountain, Mount Batur, dominates the district
of Kintamani, in the Bangli Regency, which
is still an active volcano. The Hindu population
of Bali considers Mount Batur a sacred mountain.
Its explosion, however, did not only cause
death and obliteration but paradoxically had
a constructive side, the slopes of the mountain
and the areas nearby it (where the large Lake
Batur is) have turned out to be extremely
productive as the effect of the ashes
The area has become very productive
for the growing of oranges, banana trees and
coffee plants. Many villages are dispersed
at the foot of the mountain, such as Songan,
Toya Bungkah, Kedisan, Abang and Trunyan.
The special custom for the tourists who come
to enjoy the very amiable climate, the natural
beauties as well as very unique tradition
continued by the villagers, not only they
do not cremate the body of their deceased,
they do not even bury them. They are simply
left on a stone platform in the village cemetery.
