Bhima Swarga
Idanna Pucci

Bhima Swarga; the Balinese journey of the soul.

In this folk epic, the hero Bhima travels to the afterlife and encounters during his travels the gruesome punishments in store there for the sinners of the world, and also the sweet rewards of heaven. His adventures are told with a combination of broad humour and a serene acceptance of life.
