I MANGKU MUNIK is a soft-spoken, sarong-wearing gentleman who, since becoming the family priest three years ago, has had to start wearing his hair, long (it reaches his shoulders) in the manner expected of a religious man on the ‘Island of the Gods.’  

Every day Mangku, 56, prepares the food for his wife’s market stall in Pejeng, a large village on the southern slopes of Bali’s Gunung Agung.
