I Made Kardita and a Pemangku priest

There are two kinds of priests on Bali, the Pedanda, or high priest, and the pemangku, or temple priest. Only a Brahman can become a Pedanda; Pemangku are recruited from the lower castes.
Every temple has its own Pemangku, a lay priest who maintains the temple and officiates at everyday rituals. Pemangku remain in direct contact with the ancestors and can exorcise devils. Even the most indigent Balinese will make a great effort to hire the services of a Pemangku, especially when it comes to making sure dead loved ones are properly ushered into the spiritual world.
