Abstract: This article explores the Ngaben ceremony, which is a manifestation of Pitra Yadnya in Balinese culture, referencing the
Lontar Yama Purwwa Tattwa. The background of this research focuses on the importance of Ngaben as a ritual that honors ancestors
and the journey of the soul after death in Hindu Balinese tradition. The research methodology includes text study, symbolic analysis,
and interviews with community leaders and practitioners experienced in the Ngaben ceremony. Findings indicate that this ceremony
functions not only as a burial process but also as a means to strengthen the cultural and spiritual identity of the Balinese community.
Furthermore, the analysis shows that the elements in the Lontar Yama Purwwa Tattwa contain profound philosophical values and
emphasize the importance of the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. This research aims to enrich the
understanding of the essence of Ngaben in a continuously evolving cultural context.
