	Larung paglangan is one of the Pitra Yadnya rituals intended for the dead person. This Pitra Yadnya ceremony is known as Ngaben. Historical evidence of the Ngaben ceremony in the past can be found in various ancient Balinese manuscripts, such as the Lontar Yama Tattwa, the Lontar Pitra Yadnya, and the Lontar Atma Prasangsa. These manuscripts explain that the spirit of the deceased needs to be purified so it can return to its origin, namely Sang Hyang Paramatma, or the One and Only God. The spirit must undergo a process of "liberation" or moksha, and one way to achieve this is through the Pitra Yadnya ceremony, one of which is the Ngaben.

	This ceremony consists of several sacred stages that must be completed before, during, and after the cremation of the body. Larung paglangan is a ritual performed after the cremation of the body. The cremation of the body produces ashes, which are then scattered into a river, sea, or lake. However, in modern Bali, the scattering of ashes is more often done at sea. This process means returning the body's elements to nature, namely to release the Atma (spirit) from the shackles of the world so that it can easily unite with God (Mokshatam Atmanam).
