Farewell to the ancestors

The beautiful bride is saying bye-bye to her ancestors giving them notice that she will leave her family to getting married and joining into her husband's family. The husband, here behind the bride is being introduced to her ancestors. The local pemangku (priest) is presiding the ceremony which is held in the private altar compound of the bride's family.
