A jukung fishing boat is used if a temple ceremony is held on an offshore island from Bali or if ashes are to be scattered in the ocean.
The far eastern edge of Bali is dotted with fishing villages where jukung boats compete for space along the black volcanic sand with the occasional villa and yacht.
