Pemangku priest takes holy rituals for the Gods

Pemangku on the other hand are lay priests who serve a variety of functions and are addressed ‘Jero Mangku’ by others. They always wear white and can be distinguished by their particular style of white headdress. Pemangku are not of Brahmin caste and are mostly chosen by the village because of their pious nature, religious knowledge or their susceptibility to trance. Certain Pemangku are viewed as especially important if they are connected to a particular temple in a particular village or here at the wedding ceremony.
