But now travelers can view this event as the entertainment show, but still before the show starts with a ritual procession as well as Kecak Dance.

Barong is a character in Bali’s mythology. In the mythological traditions of Bali he is the King of Spirits, the leader of the hosts of good, and enemy of Rangda. Banas Pati Rajah is the fourth “brother” or spirit child to guide a child during its entire life.

The spirit that animates Barong is Banas Pati Rajah. He is often a lion as a protectionist, and the traditional performances of his battles against Rangda are popular parts of Balinese culture.

Two monkeys are often portrayed by the Barong. The Barong is the Balinese villages ‘ magical protector. As “Lord of the forest” in the unending struggle between good and evil, with a fantastic fanged mask and long mane, he is the opposite of Rangda the witch who rule over the spirits of darkness.

The Barong (there are many types, including barong macan, barong ket, and barong bangkal) wander from door to door (nglawang) during the Galungan Kuningan festivals, purifying the territory of evil influences.

The Barong and Kris dance, like the kecak dance, is a struggle between good and evil spirits. Barong can take different forms, but in this dance Barong Keket, the most holy of the Barongs, takes the form of dance.

The Barong Keket is an odd creature, half shaggy dog, half lion, and is played like a circus clown-horse by two men. His opponent is Rangda’s witch.

The struggle between Barong and Rangda is also the subject of traditional tales, usually carried out in the temple of the dead.

The most famous is Calonarang’s story, a widow from Dirah who’s furious because she can’t find her daughter Ratna Manggali’s suitable husband. All eligible young men are afraid of her black magic, so by wreaking havoc over Daha’s kingdom she gets revenge.

Erlangga, the king, is trying to punish her, but all his attempts are failing. She kills all the soldiers to destroy her that he sends. Rangda then decides to wreck Daha.

She summons all her disciples to present offerings of dead flesh to Durga, the goddess of death, in the evening they go to the Setra Gendrainayu cemetery. Durga agrees with the destruction, despite warning the witch not to enter Daha city.

But the witch doesn’t listen to the advice of Durga and grubug (a plague) hits the Kingdom soon, and the villages quickly become cemeteries and people are dying even before they can bury their dead. Everywhere the bodies are scattered and the stench is unbearable.

Mpu Bharadah is the only person who can defeat the witch.

One day Bharadah sent Bahula, his disciple, to steal the magic weapon of Calonarang. Bahula pretends to ask for the hand of Ratna Manggali in marriage, and while the witch is away, with the help of Ratna Manggali, Bahula steals the magic weapon.

Then he is giving his teacher Bharadah the stolen weapon. The weapon turns out to be a manuscript containing Calonarang’s upside-down key to ultimate release (moksa).

To challenge the witch, Bharadah goes to Daha. She is defeated with the Barong’s help. She asks to be released from her curse and purified before she gets killed.

This caste is highly recognized for their expertise in working with various metals to produce prayer accoutrements for Hindus. More and more locals abandoned their farms to learn how to make silver and gold as tourism took over as Bali’s primary industry. Particularly, nearly every villager became a silversmith in 1976, and since then, Celuk Village has been well-known for its exquisite jewelry and other silver handicrafts.

Since the silver artisans in this area have been handed down through the generations, the moniker “Bali’s Silver Village” fits them perfectly.

Since the majority of them often interact with international visitors, their English should be enough to facilitate a dialogue. You can ask for their permission to forge and mold your own jewelry if you feel competent enough. Some of them could let you utilize the tools and even instruct you on how to do so. But be careful—molding silver and gold entails using fire, which may severely burn your fingers—not to mention your wallet.

Numerous tales concerning Balinese culture and religion are described. Typically, they are fragments of a picture that convey a narrative.

The kamasan style’s name is derived from the name of the hamlet where it originated. Traditional components from mineral and vegetable or plant sources are also utilised in the kamasan style. Additionally, they employ stone, soot, or white bone. The medium (canvas) for painting with bamboo is often a conventional canvas made of wood, tree leaves, or fabric. Western painters visited Bali in 1930 and altered the laws governing Balinese painting. Modern painting has evolved as a result of the use of a new canvas made from ink and paint imported from the west.

A new style of painting Balinese modern art has begun this year. The traditional style is only little influenced by the growing number of artists that visit Bali in ceremonial contexts. Unlike Ubud, Batuan village is not impacted by the west.
