Pawiwahan


The purpose of carrying out this ceremony is to remove impurities due to the meeting of two human beings (a man and a women), to form a happy and eternal family and to be able to have children with noble characters who will continue obligations especially to the ancestors (Pitra rna), Dewa (Dewa rna) and Guru (Rsi rna).

It is compulsory during the ceremony called “mekala-kalaan”, a husband and wife conduct a “mabyakala” ceremony which aims to eliminate the impurities.  The couple worship in front of Sanggah Kemulan (Family temple), stating the marriage to The God / Ida Bethara, because if it was not witnessed by The God the husband and wife meeting is called “smara dudu”.
