Patulangan, sometimes called palinggihan, is a type of wooden sarcophagus in Bali, Indonesia. They are shaped in animal forms, real and mythical.〔(Encyclopedia of Cremation ) edited by Lewis H. Mates, Professor Douglas J. Davies〕 The body is brough to the patulangan in a bodé, a pagoda like structure with an odd number multi-tiered roof (the more roof tiers the higher the prestige). The patulangan and bodé are cremated along with the body.〔 Traditionally the design of the sarcophagus depends on the varna of the deceased. Bull shaped patulangan are used for male Brahmins, cows for female Brahmins, lions for Kshatriya, winged lions for prabali, deer for Vaishyas, and the gajah mina (elephant-fish) and cecekakan for jaba (caste).〔(Codices Manuscripti: Catalogue of Balinese manuscripts in the Library of the University of Leiden and other collections in the Netherlands ) Descriptions of the Balinese drawings from the Van der Tuuk Collection, Volume 23, Page 2, Bibliotheek der Rijksuniversiteit te Leiden, Hedwig I. R. Hinzler, Brill Archive, 1986 page 398〕 Because of the high cost of the funeral and its rituals, bodies are often buried and disinterred for mass funeral events.〔Lonely Planet Bali & Lombok by Ryan Ver Berkmoes〕 The tower is shaken and circled during the funeral procession so that the soul cannot find its way back home. War battles are simulated and water is tossed. The structures and body are cremated and the ashes scattered in the ocean. The process is meant to liberate th esoul to ascend to heaven and the family temple.〔 ==Gallery== File:COLLECTIE TROPENMUSEUM 'Patulangan' (doodskist) in de vorm van een rund bij een lijkverbranding in Karangasem Bali TMnr 10003092.jpg|Patulangan in the form of a bull / ox File:COLLECTIE TROPENMUSEUM Begrafenisstoet bij de crematie van Goesti Djilantik te Karangasem Bali TMnr 10003107.jpg|Funeral procession File:COLLECTIE TROPENMUSEUM 'Patulangan's' (doodskisten) voor gewone mensen te Karangasem Bali TMnr 10003100.jpg File:COLLECTIE TROPENMUSEUM Balinezen te Karangasem bij een petoelangan doodskist in de vorm van een fantastisch dier waarin een lijk naar de verbrandingsplaats wordt overgebracht TMnr 60042735.jpg| 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patulangan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
