<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>Bali: Ancient Rites in the Digital Age</i> is a personal portfolio of work by the photographer Ida Bagus Putra Adnyana--offering a close view of rituals that few people have seen, often in remote villages of the island. <p/></b>The Hindu Balinese ceremonies described by author Diana Darling cover rites of passage and the rituals of death as well as those devoted to the gods, to the lower spirits, and the initiation of priests. <p/> As a Balinese from a Brahmana priestly family, Adnyana brings an insider's knowledge of his subject, and he is often granted exceptional access to rare ritual ceremonies. Thus, he is able to photograph with the highest possible intimacy.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ida Bagus Putra Adnyana</b> is a classicist of Balinese photography, whose subject has always been the beauty and power of his native Balinese ritual culture.
