Balinese Mass Cremation

Balinese people are burning a coffin in the shape of a mythical lion during a collective Balinese Hindu cremation ceremony called Ngaben in Antiga village, Karangasem, Bali, Indonesia, on August 14, 2024. The collective Ngaben ceremony is commonly held once a year to save funeral costs and involves a large community within a village. For Balinese, the cremation ceremony is an important passage to release the soul to the next life from the body after death. (Photo by Johanes P. Christo/NurPhoto)
