MAKNA BIAYA PADA RITUAL NGATURANG CANANG MASYARAKAT BALI

Abstract: The Meaning of Cost in the Ngaturang Canang Ritual Bali. The study aims to reveal the meaning of spending in the Ngaturang Canang Ritual in Bali. Ngaturang Canang is a ritual of placing small offerings in the holy places every morning. Categorisation of cultural forms were utilised as analysis tools. The findings suggest that Balinese households spend some amount daily for the ritual according to the number of merajan in each family. The family never intends to reduce spending in the name of efficieny. The Balinese regards ritual cost of Canang not as economic spending, but as form of gratitude to bring one closer to God and to balance life.
