In addition to payments that were classified as low performing arts are often positioned as a complement to the show, usually had dinner at the hotel / restaurant. Artists given the modest facilities and are often not properly introduced. How deep appreciation can occur when the attention of the audience should be divided between pendant food and watch the show? It was common knowledge that in places where tourism show guide or drivers who take tourists get 25-50% commission from the price of admission.

Similarly, the art broker (intermediary between artist and buyer) to take a high percentage of the price offered so that the wages received by the artists is very minimal. This may be caused by the large number of artists / arts groups in Bali (high supply), coupled with the lack of such knowledge and managerial skills most artists / artist groups, and because of cultural traditions naiad (the show as a gift and inner satisfaction) that remain condensed among activist art. Bargaining position of artists in the presence of the tourism entrepreneurs to be low, as reflected by the existence of competition in lowering prices between groups with one another.

Ngaben cremation culture of bali

Understanding Ngaben

Ngaben generally defined as a cremation, although the etymological origin of the word is not quite right. Besides there is no tradition Ngaben through cremation.

Ngaben actually comes from the word "beya" means the provision, namely in the form type that is needed in the ceremony Upakara Ngaben it. Beya said that means lunch, later in the hull of Indonesia into the cost or "prabeya" in Balinese language. people who hold beya in Bali called "meyanin". Ngaben or meyanin said, has become the standard language, to mention uppacara "wedhana Sawa." So really no longer need to be debated origin of the word. What is clear is upaccara meyanin Ngaben or organizing Sawa (bodies) for those who have died.

Ngaben or meyanin in terms of other standard, which was mentioned in the papyrus is "atiwa-Incident". Atiwa said even this can not be sought in origin, possibly derived from the native language of the Archipelago (Austronesian), considering this kind of ceremony we also encountered the Dayak tribe in Kalimantan, which they call "tiwah". Similarly, in the land of the Batak we hear the term "tibal", to mention a ceremony after the death.

Ngaben or meyanin ceremony, or also atiwa-occurrence, for the Hindu Tengger Mountains known as "entas-entas". Entas words remind us of the principal ceremonies Ngaben Bali. Namely tirta pangentas (holy water) which serves to terminate the love of the Atman with the body and deliver the Atma to the carnal nature Pitara (afterlife).

In other languages in Bali, which connotes fine, it is called Palebon Ngaben, which comes from the meaning prathiwi dust or soil. Palebon means making prathiwi (ash). To make the land there are two ways, namely by burning and planted into the ground. But how to burn is the fastest.

Place to process a land called "pemasmian" and called tunon their area. Tunon derived from the word "tunu" which means to burn. While pemasmian derived from the word kill, which means destroyed. Other Tunon he said was "Setra" or "sema." Setra means dost. While the origin of the word sema smasana which means Durga. Goddess Durga bersthana in this Tunon.
