The “Aga Bali” Experience.
ABOUT TERUNYAN
Bali’s best know inhabitant is the Bali Aga, the islands oldest aboriginal who
lived here long before the Majapanhit invasion in the 14th century.
Legends has it, that the village was established on the spot, where an
ancient “Taru Menyan” tree stood – hence the town’s name. It is said that in
ancient times the lake goddess Dewi Danu was lured down from heaven by the lovely scent of this tree.
Trunyan provides evidence of how Bali’s earliest people used to live.
From the village Kedisan by the lake in Kintamani a small motorized boat takes
us to the cemetery. Trunyan village is located at the foot of Mount Abang.
It is one of Bali’s oldest villages and presumably belongs to the first or
second migrants to Bali.
They have a tradition, which is unique. The dead are not buried or cremated,
but are just exposed to the air on a narrow spot on the bank of the lake.
From the village the body is taken to the cemetery by canoe. During the process
of decaying, there is no odor emanating from the bodies.
There are three cemeteries, one for those who are died from a natural cause, one for those that dies an unnatural death e.q. accidents or from diseases considered to
be very dangerous and one for children.
This is really strange, because the exposed bodies in Trunyan’s cemetery do not
radiate a bad odor. Many people say it is because the water absorbs the odor or
probably the tree known as Maja tree can absorb it. As a matter of fact Trunyan
village was recorded at the king’s charter in the 10th century. A temple dedicated
to the God of Bhatara Datonta was clearly mentioned 1000 years ago to be
maintained or worshipped.
