Today I would like to share about one of the tradition in Bali, As we know Bali has many culture and tradition, Including dance, ceremony, custom, cloth, cuisine and much more. On this opportunity I want to raise about tradition Ngedeblag ceremony. Tradition Ngedeblag ceremony conducted only in Kemenuh village, Sukawati sub-district, Gianyar. The procession is celebrated in every one day before the switchover sasih Kajeng POND fifth and sixth sasih (Balinese calendar) which is held once a year in order to anticipate changes in the coming season, so avoid disasters, such as landslides, floods and disease and endowed safety. The ceremony was performed by residents Kemenuh tutun generations.
Ngedeblag ceremony is unique tradition, consisting by hundreds of children, adolescents and adults, clustered with a creepy decoration or facial appearance was often painted like-comedian. They walked around the village carrying holy water (Tirta memundut), by parading a pair of sacred barong, while sounding the gamelan, gong, or household furniture, palm tree leaves, and then continue to held a procession around the village. Every a couple of Barong past the end of each village, the people will doing the ceremony .
Also every crossroads, the mothers welcomed the arrival of the procession with offerings, deliver to puja puja for natural cleansing, neutralizing negative spirits. Because they believe the world has been soiled by human activity, so it needs to be cleaned.
