The Ogoh-Ogoh doll is a “lucky” design, a “lucky charm” and original art in the tradition of “art toys” that are the rage now among the young, so young and design enthusiasts.

The Ogoh-Ogoh are performed in a 100% scale, each little monster is unique and reveals the talent of its creator who shapes from scraps of fabric in cotton.

Origin and mythology

The word “Ogoh-Ogoh” finds its origin in places of the worlds most mystical and enchanting of all: the island of Bali. It comes from the mythology of the Hindu Indonesian Island.

The Balinese created every year (during the Balinese New Year, called day of “Nyepi”), huge monsters made of tubes of bamboo and paper Mache. Men use their traditional artisanship to create the most terrifying monster (because it symbolizes the forces of evil) but also the most fun possible: all delusions are possible!

On the eve of Nyepi, people walking their enormous Ogoh-Ogoh in the streets, make them dance, turn, so they are lost and no longer find the way to Bali!

The party is generally the spectacular crowd, women light fires on their way and children are the maximum noise to scare away the demons: cymbals, gongs and firecrackers, scream … Anything goes!

After their well-tormented demon, the villagers burnt a large pile, then they return home quickly and does more noise overnight to the Ogoh-Ogoh cannot find the direction of Bali.

Monster Festive Doll Design

Balinese Ogoh-Ogoh freely inspires our Ogoh-Ogoh; they perpetuate creativity, artisanship and above all pursue the same goal: creating a world more colorful and funny.

The outer court called Jaba, located on the outer side of the pond. From the outer court there is a bridge across the pond, leading to a gate of a gate while.

The gate is the entrance to the inner court surrounded by a stone fence. At the entrance to the bridge and in front of the gate there is a pair of giant statues.

In the next round bale there is a pond filled with lotus and in the center stood an obelisk that emits water to the nine cardinal directions.

In this court there are a number of Meru, Temple, Gedong, Padmasana, Padma Rong Barbadensis, and other religious buildings.

Based on the Purana Pura Sakenan compiled by Team Bali Cultural Office, that the temple was used as a place Sakenan manners subak beg God’s blessing. Where, where they pleaded Sakenan Pura welfare. Asking for all sorts of diseases that destroy crops in the fields for eliminated. Mentioned in purana Sakenan keep it that Hyang Hyang Masceti stinky rice pest and keep rats so as not to damage the rice fields and farmers’ fields. And, it must be remembered.

What about now? Rice fields and farmers’ fields around the area Sakenan not work anymore. Actually growing tourism. The rice fields and farm population there tourism by developing marine tourism. Therefore, the perpetrators of tourism are expected to apply to live at Temple Sakenan welfare, for attractions such as Sanur, Kuta, Nusa Dua and Denpasar will be safe.

If the tour players pleaded with genuine welfare, surely there is no longer a terrorist group that disrupt tourism in Bali. Terrorist group that is now likened to stinky rice pest and the rats in the fields. Therefore, just ask Him undoubtedly “rats” do not disturb the tourism of Bali. Have it done? The answer to the people.

From ancient times Hyang Maharesi Markandya build and organize the existence of the villages and create a welfare society. With the welfare application that, causing all sorts of plants that are planted, whether planted in fields and rice fields all flourish. That is what causes the followers he is very obedient and create prosperity together, all united and respectful to the Dwijaswara. Therefore thus Sakenan origin, then also called Sad Goda.

That’s noteworthy when building a building for Batara Sakenan. If breached causing chaos throughout the country (world). Therefore, it should not be carelessly build pelinggih. Because, holy people to build a holy place, the form of buildings, and equipment based on the results of meditation.

There are also mentioned, including one Sakenan Pura Kretiloka Sad. Called as a symbol of the Sad Darsana. Sad called Atma Kretih Kretih namely, Ocean Kretih, Wana Kretih, Jagat Kretih and Jana Kretih.

Sakenan temple itself is called Ocean Kretih. Sakenan it as a place of worship of Ida Hyang Biswarna or god Varuna. He is really a keeper Segara Pakretih (calm seas / oceans) for the salvation of the world, eliminating all kinds of barriers in the world, and all kinds of diseases and purify all kinds of time, bhuta and humans, and various kinds of diseases. So who is mentioned in the literature. Thus, for Hindus do not break them.

Pura Sakenan is a very sacred place and a place of safety around the world begging. Places of worship he founded in southern waterfront in the Village area attacks. Parahyangan sacred building was named Parahyangan Dalem Sakenan (Pura Dalem Sakenan) as a place berstananya Hyang Sandhijaya. Why called Dalem Sakenan? Because that’s the word from Batara that provide instructions on when he chose the small islands in the southern ocean. It was there that was built Pura Sakenan because as a command through the voices of unseen (word) Ida Batara.

Pura Dalem Hyang stana Sandhijaya Sakenan is also called Tatmajuja, always keep calm seas (ocean pakreti), the savior of the world dams kala bhuta merayascita all kinds, human and all kinds of diseases, eliminate all types of disasters in the world.

Temple of Tanah Lot is one of tourist objects in Bali, Indonesia. Located in the village of Beraban Kediri sub district and Tabanan Regency is about 13 kilometers west of Tabanan. There are two temples perched atop the rock in the first place, perched on top of the piece of rock and the other at the top of the hill as the temple of Uluwatu. This temple is a sad role of temples Temple Goda is the hinge that form the island of Bali.

Tanah Lot Sea Temple is a temple used to worship the gods of the sea According to legend, this temple was built by a Brahman who roamed the Majapahit kingdom in Java. WHO Dahyang Niratha happened to make a strong faith in the people of Bali for the Doctrine of the Hindus and sad Goda built in century 16.

Although the author of Tanah Lot, BANDESA adherent to the uterus Beraben was jealous because Iyou start from and then her uterus Dahyang Niratha. Beraben Dahyang Niratha without leave of Tanah Lot. He agreed, and before leaving Tanah Lot, by his power replaced a large rock in the middle of the sea (not the center of the sea) and built a temple. It also changed her shawl for a snake to protect the temple. The snake was at the height of that time and scientifically this snake belongs to the class-tale sea serpent has features like a flat fish, the color is black with yellow stripes and their venom was three times more stronger than cobra.

The end of the legend says that eventually BANDESA Beraben also became members Niratha Danghyang. In the background and in the western part of this temple also has a water source and water is a holly According to Hinduism. When the water recedes boxes are invited to the court of the temple to pray. We are only allowed to pray in the temple, if we use a traditional custom. At Tanah Lot, we see the appearance of the moon at night and the sun sets on horizon. Both dishes are pan to see if we take our tourism there.

It takes about an hour from Denpasar, about 45 minutes from Kuta. Vehicles like Bemo (Denpasar transport in general), Taxi, motorcycles and other vehicles available for hire. Suggest also join guided tours offered by hotels or travel agencies.

Philosophy

The word of Tanah Lot is composed of two words are of the Earth This word interpreted as looking like a reef or an island platform. Much of the word means Lod or sea. So Tanah Lot, the small island floating in the sea place is now called Tanah Lot has been used in a megalithic era as a place considered sacred, as evidenced by the existence of menhirs. Environmental conditions, the structure of the temple of Tanah Lot is built on the corner of uneven reef flat that consisted of a clear and spoil yards.

Function
The function of this temple made boxes to the temple which is located in the main temple. In this place, “there is a main temple to worship the god in the form of the god Varuna or Bhata Segara, the power of the sea Through the worship of this god is the construction of the temple, with five floors of the temple while 3-storey building in the northern part of the area is active in worship Nirartha Dang Hyang.

To check the status of the temple of Tanah Lot boxes became aware of the temple’s history, function and incoming Please also see the existence takes place the ceremony of the temple to pray. Cans, in this case is:

• Tanah Lot Temple that Dang Goda (the great temples of the Spirit in Bali), because history and Penyiwi (guardians of the temple) are the local population and the environment Tabanan regency
• Temple of Tanah Lot Temple as Segara because its function as a shrine to worship the Segara Bhat, the God with the demonstration that the ocean energy Deity

Cans animals only be seen in this area is the Snake Temple, which boxes are usually collected on the coast. A portion of the stomach transversely not skin, there are only small skins, but seawater cases of snake bite, but very rarely are adverse events, because water sea serpent generally very passive.

 What to see Tanah Lot

Each visitor who is visiting this place to be admired to see the magnificent panorama of Tanah Lot. Besides this temple, other temples that boats can be seen on his visit to Tanah Lot, as Batu Bolong Temple, the Temple and the Temple Batumejan Galuh Enjung.

Buleleng Regency is located in the northern part of Bali. Geographically, the area is mountainous and the beach is close to the mountain range at a 5 km. Distance, stretching from the west to east along the Buleleng regency.
