    “Trunyan Village is a historical spot where first Balinese tribe live—Bali Aga, or also known as Bali Muga. They are known for their death rituals: they do not bury people but leave bodies under a bamboo shelter, placed under a sacred tree called “Tarumenyan tree” at the village cemetery, with the belief that it eliminates the smell of decay. Only married men and women who died from natural causes can be buried at this cemetery.”
