Trunyan Holiday

Trunyan is another old village inhabited by the people who are called the “Bali Aga” or old Bali that alive of the ways that are extremely different from the other Balinese. The temple of Bali the Aga in this village names Puser Jagat, meaning the navel of the universe. Its architecture is highly unusual, and is stopped in the protective curtain of a massive tree of banyan. The Bali Aga has a strange way of the burial. Instead of incinerating its corpses, the Bali Aga simply places them underneath this tree of banyan. The mysterious scent is masked by a special arboreal fragrance emitted by the tree of banyan. The village of Trunyan firmly expresses between the lake and the external edge of Batur, an all-powerful volcano of the crater in Kintamani. This is a village of Bali Aga, inhabited by the descendants of the original Balinese, the people who predate the arrival from the Hindu kingdom of Majapahit in the sixteenth century. She is famous by the temple of Pure Pancering Jagat, but unfortunately it is not allowed the visitors inside. It also has even of the traditional houses of the Aga-style of Bali, and a great tree of banyan, that it reputes more than 1,100 years. In Kuban the secondary-village near Trunyan is a mysterious cemetery that is separated by the accessible lake and only by the boat, there is not no trajectory throughout the escaped walls of the edge of the crater. Resemblant of the people of Balinese, the people of Trunyan does not incinerate nor buries to its deads, but as soon as put you towards outside in the cages of bamboo being disturbed, although strange there is no stench. A macabre collection of skulls and bones lies in the stone platform and the environs. The dead bodies do not produce bad scents due to the perfumed scents of an enormous tree of Taru Menyan that grows close. Taru means that the “tree” and Menyan mean the “pleasant scent”. The name of Trunyan also was derived from these two words. They prohibit the women of Trunyan to go to the cemetery when a dead body takes there. This follows the belief rooted that deeply if a woman comes to the cemetery whereas a corpse is taking there, is a disaster in the village, for example a collapse or a volcanic eruption. Such events have been frequent in the history of the village, but the women had any thing to do with him is an opinion question.
