Purifying the spirits of late family members_ The ritual (pictured) is a part of a Balinese spiritual procession traditionally called "nyegara gunung" (or "meajar-ajar"), which serves as a way to accompany the spirits of the late family members and ancestors to the heaven. The family members are accompanying the departed spirits in a whole-day parade and a series of prayers, which starts at Goa Lawah temple and a nearby beach in Klungkung regency, followed by visits to a certain list of temples in Besakih temple complex, Karangasem regency—on the slopes of Mount Agung. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Religion is seen as "the last fortress" of Bali cultural tourism, according to a team of scientists led by Nararya Narottama (Udayana University, Bali), in their paper presented in April 2018 International Conference on Emerging Tourism Destinations held in Dili, Timor Leste, accessed through ResearchGate. "The Balinese believe, that as far as the Hindu religion embraced by the people of Bali, the Bali culture will remain stable, with or without tourism, " they wrote. "In contrast, tourism in Bali would be in danger of collapse if the Hindu religion and culture of the Balinese fades." Since 1971, the Government of Bali stipulates that the tourism which is developed in Bali is cultural tourism, which is inspired by Hinduism teaching, according to the writers.
