The Big Picture: A Royal Farewell in Bali

Some magnificent images at The Big Picture of a royal Balinese funeral, at which Agung Suyasa, head of the royal family of Ubud, was cremated. This huge bull is used as the sarcophagus.

Firm believers in reincarnation, a funeral to the Balinese is not a time for mourning, but for celebrating the fact that the deceased soul is finally freed.

Free or not, that is one impressive bull.
