If you visit Tanah Lot Tourism Object during the temple anniversary, you will seen many western people wearing balinese traditional clothes and pray at the temple. They are western people which stay in Bali for a long time and already become Hindus people. Procession to become a balinese hindus for western people is very complex but they excited with that experience. Many westerners have become Balinese through the Suddhi Wadani ceremony and the Manusa Yadnya (ceremony for human) ceremony.  

Suddhi Wadhani ceremony can be paralleled with taking a vow ceremony. In this ceremony someone make a vow to become a Hindu follower, but in order to become a Balinese another series of ceremony have to be performed. To be a Balinese someone has to be “reborn” in Balinese way. A Balinese is given various ceremony since he/she in the womb of his/her mother until he/she pass away, even long after he/she passed away a ceremony is held for him/her.

The series of ceremony is begun with the magedong-gedongan housing of the soul) ceremony on the seventh month of pregnancy. Next ceremony is birth ceremony; it is celebrated by welcome to the world ceremony (penyambutan). Next ceremony is ceremony of seven day for the fall of the umbilical cord (kepus pungsed), followed by the ceremony of the twelfth day, the forty-two day ceremony and the third month ceremony. Upon this third month ceremony, the child is allowed to touch the ground and given a name. After these ceremonies, there will be an otonan ceremony (Balinese birthday ceremony).

Tooth filling ceremony is held after the otonan ceremony, the purpose of this ceremony is to control the desire. Balinese demonic characters are always represented with big canine teeth. By filing them, someone symbolizes the victory over his/her six “intimate enemies” (kama -lust, lobha - greed, krodha - anger, mada - intoxication, moha - confusion and matsarya – jealously). After the tooth filling ceremony, marriage ceremony is the last ceremony to be held to complete the circle of Manusa Yadnya (ceremonies for human). The Manusa Yadnya (ceremonies for human) in Bali is varied; a ceremony in a village may be different with the next. A descriptive account on the inauguration to be a Balinese by an ex-expatriate (now a Balinese) will gives a different point of view on this matter.
