Bali, The guarder God's island

In Bali, the main temple society as Kahyangan faith Bali Jagad, society itself in Bali, but also in spiritual groups, there are different concepts. Differences also occurred in Bali on classical literature and therefore have different views in different references.

However, with the important role of the Hindu religious experts, in Bali, these different views and beliefs are united in a uniform interpretation, and then compiled into a book titled "decisions of the seminar, the interpretation of the Hindu religion I -. XV published book by local governments in Bali 1999/2000.

The book pointed out that in Bali Jagad Kahyangan divided into two different concepts (Rwabineda), such as the Temple in Karangasem regency hundred Chaki as Purusa (male) and Batur Temple Pradana (female) differences in the Bangli Regency.

Sarad (Naga)

On Catur Lokapala (four directions) based on the concept, Kahyangan Jagad Temple in Karangasem regency Lempuyang Luhur composition, Andakasa Temple is also in Karangasem regency, Batukaru Temple, Tabanan Regency and Puncak Mangu Temple Badung regency.

Villages in Bali

Villages in Bali is the most unique village in the world. If you have enough time to visit, Bali villages located not far away from town, you will find out the real Balinese village. Usually you will see the vast green rice fields of traditional villages. Birds in the sky, and step ways to cross the rice farmers.

Above the village, we will find the village temple to mebakti (prayer) and worship every purnama (full moon), tilem (dead moon) and kajeng kliwon villagers and yard. Once in six months, there was a ceremony, the villagers out of their houses dressed in traditional clothing, bring products and (ritual) dedicated pujawali.

The end of the village, it is always there for a Pula Dalem (internal Temple), and the next village with a serious Pula prajapati. In this grave, the dying villagers prick and prayer, Ngaben cremation.

The most interesting is that in the middle of the village, there is a nothing more banjar, a wantilan (construction), a place the villagers together for life from piodalan any aspect of the discussion, cremation, agriculture, management subak (traditional irrigation system), the selection of village cadres. Villagers take from this banjar DESA mawacara called discretion.


Gate House

If we walk around the house into the village, there angkul - angkul (gate) and it is often cultivated with the bunga jepun  (egg flower) or sometimes nyuh GADING (yellow coconut) plantations. The streets of the village is very pretty split. There are many such similar Bali Penglipuran village street, village and Sembiran Tenganan villages or Sukawati village, a traditional village.


Village Temple
Banjar as a gathering place for the villagers, the village in the social and the smallest unit of exchange. Although banjar is the smallest part in Bali, but the structure is not clear which one is first formed, village or banjar (sub-village). It is clear that, banjar is a place where people come to discuss matters of mutual interest as sangkep or parum (the meeting). For most villagers in Bali, banjar the value of social transformation is a local Hindu Bali. Most social activities are banjar.

This is not surprising, if we see the villagers learned to play gamelan, ngigel (dance), and even metajen (gambling or fighting cocks), and masliahan (relax).

Some say banjar term meaning derived from the banjah called open and spread bebanjaran or parallel. Pronunciation of the word has the same meaning banjar place the rights and obligations krama the banjar itself (all members) of their community.

Members of the banjar can be divided into krama DESA Tua or Monk (unmarried members), krama pengarep or grehasta (key members), krama penyada, who is a member of the duties, and the release of members of the krama penglingsir (and old members .)


Cremation ceremony

Another point is to pay the necessary attention is nothing more kulkul banjar in each building (wooden tower) was established. Kulkul is made of wood clock to provide information banjar members.

Banjar Bali ngambel activities like a people (to run their practices) in the center. Even Bali's self-image is to express their social attitudes and friendship, and their indicators. Therefore, it is not surprising if there were kasepekang banjar members (isolation). This is why banjar is a tourist magnet, if we really want to explore Bali.

There are various buildings in Bali, and one known to all Federation (built on your life). Association for the Bali does not mean a building, the building itself composed of several packages. Occupied by a few packets of a Federation plot of land on the completion of the entire house.

A Council of ingredients called karang sikut satak. In other words, a single plot of land measures 14 × 13 depa, a depa is equal to the length between a grown man, his hands and spread them.

This karang sikut satak divided into three parts. The Department is based on TN Mandala, divided into areas of land that he horse, madya and nista plot concept. District Utama is "parahyangan" a local, family prayer, the district madya as "pawongan" is - the family members here to do their daily activities, and regional nista "palemahan" where the animals, cages, plants, etc.

Council is to build around the perimeter of 4 paduraksas, there are four walls of the angle of the wall columns. Each point is the name of Sri Lanka raksa, Aguilar raksa, Rudra raksa, and Kara raksa. Council of the entrance to the courtyard as angkul - angkul. The simplest angkul - angkul lelengen and most complex known as the so-called Bintang aring Furusato / gelung Gurion.

Prayer

The input angkul - angkul, you will see the wall as Carole, Carole face you. Carole, Carole is a wall of the restrictions and guidance at the same time to prevent from and into the yard (through angkul - angkul house natah) people watching.

Natah open space in the middle of the house. Bali's activities, including ceremonies, held here. Another place, they can do their religious activities are related to several of its pelinggih (sacred architecture) sanggah (where the family worship.) Although parahyangan place of worship is called sanggah, it is called pelangkiran (worship by a package name) pawongan, and it is called a palemahan penunggun karang.

Of: the number of packets in a Council of Economic and Social Affairs according to different, Patra (place, time, situation) and the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the concept of MaWa CARA (local customs / traditions). However, generally fills four to six units, each being based on their location or direction, such as the compass fills daja (North balai) the name, Bell dangin (in East balai), Bell delod (in South balai) and Bale dauh ( Western balai).

Bale is also based on the building of a named type. Bale daja simple as Midland. In the meten. Midland has four pillars in the balcony in front of Bandung is known as the American League. If the other four pillars are added in front as if it was like the appearance of a two-floor veranda, it is known as the proportion of meten Hill.

The same applies to nothing more dangin This is based on the number of its pillars: Bale dangin sakaenam (six pillars), sakakutus (eight pillars) and sakaroras (twelve pillar).

Clock Tower

Bale delod a not so popular in Bali. In Puri (as rulers of the house the past), Bale is known as nothing more sumanggen delod or tied mundak, which is called  Bale dangin singasari.

Other building to form a traditional Balinese house is paon (kitchen) and jineng (rice barn). About paon interesting is its shape is known as the Kong Kampiah. Shape the flow of air and sunlight into the kitchen with ease.

A topology (a large container is made of sedimentary rock), usually kept at paon before the water. On the basis of their typology, jineng often given different names: gelebeg and kelingking kelumpu. Next jineng is lesung and ALU (mortar /  pastle hammer).
