Pura toss is one temple that is functional as a place of worship Bhatari toss.


Bhatari can be equated with the god toss Kwera (god of money), which in Bali is known as a hair Bhatari Sedana. As tangible as the toss is Ida Ayu Bhatari Subawa is the daughter of Dang Hyang Nirarta that have changed shape. Toss Temple is located at the northeast corner, leads to the market and there is also a toss Temple was located in the middle market.

Bhatari toss abstract terms as head of the leadership “Wong Samar” that controls the entire universe, while the terms of his spiritual duty to protect / guard the safety of traders and give citizens in every Bale Banjar and each of the markets in Bali.

Ceremony Ngaben In Bali

Understanding Ngaben

Ngaben generally defined as a cremation, although the etymological origin of the word is not quite right. Besides there is no tradition Ngaben through cremation.


Ngaben actually comes from the word “beya” means the provision, namely in the form type that is needed in the ceremony Upakara Ngaben it. Beya said that means lunch, later in the hull of Indonesia into the cost or “prabeya” in Balinese language. people who hold beya in Bali called “meyanin”. Ngaben or meyanin said, has become the standard language, to mention uppacara “wedhana Sawa.” So really no longer need to be debated origin of the word. What is clear is upaccara meyanin Ngaben or organizing Sawa (bodies) for those who have died.Ngaben or meyanin in terms of other standard, which was mentioned in the papyrus is “atiwa-Incident”. Atiwa said even this can not be sought in origin, possibly derived from the native language of the Archipelago (Austronesian), considering this kind of ceremony we also encountered the Dayak tribe in Kalimantan, which they call “tiwah”. Similarly, in the land of the Batak we hear the term “tibal”, to mention a ceremony after the death.

Ngaben or meyanin ceremony, or also atiwa-occurrence, for the Hindu Tengger Mountains known as “entas-entas”. Entas words remind us of the principal ceremonies Ngaben Bali. Namely tirta pangentas (holy water) which serves to terminate the love of the Atman with the body and deliver the Atma to the carnal nature Pitara (afterlife).

In other languages in Bali, which connotes fine, it is called Palebon Ngaben, which comes from the meaning prathiwi dust or soil. Palebon means making prathiwi (ash). To make the land there are two ways, namely by burning and planted into the ground. But how to burn is the fastest.

Place to process a land called “pemasmian” and called tunon their area. Tunon derived from the word “tunu” which means to burn. While pemasmian derived from the word kill, which means destroyed. Other Tunon he said was “Setra” or “sema.” Setra means dost. While the origin of the word sema smasana which means Durga. Goddess Durga bersthana in this Tunon.

Held Ngaben Background

Human consists of two elements, namely: Physical and Spiritual. According to Hindu man is composed of three layers, namely Raga Sarira, Suksma Sarira, and Antahkarana Sarira. Sarira is a rough sport body, the body that is born of passion (ragha) between mothers and fathers. Sarira Suksma astral body or the body is composed of natural hallus thoughts, feelings, desires, and passions (Citta, Manah, Indriya, and Ahamkara). Antahkarana Sarira is the cause of life or Sanghyang Atma.

When the man was dead, Suksma Sarira with Atma aakan leave the body. Atma which had so long united with Sarira, the confines of Suksma Sarira, very difficult to leave the agency. Though the body was not able to function, because some parts have been damaged. This is a suffering for the Atma.

For not too long hindered Atma departure, agencies need to speed up the process of rough diupacarakan kembainya to its source in nature. Likewise for The Atma should be made to go to the ceremony and decided Pitra natural attachment to the body rough. This process is called Ngaben.

If Ngaben ceremony held within a period not long enough, the body would be roughly the germs, called Bhuta cuwil, and atmanya will get hell.

Ngaben Objectives

Having known what the background was ceremony Ngaben, it can be formulated aims and objectives ceremony. In outline, it is meant Ngaben:
To process the return or restore elements that make the body or ragha to the origin in nature, and
To deliver to the nature of Atma Pitra by deciding attachment with worldly entity (ragha sarira).

In the course of Atma, it is necessary supplies or “beya” which is a by-by for the fourth brother who was waiting in the form of a tense, namely: Dorakala, Mahakala, Jogor Manik, Suratma. With the stock or it is expected Atma beya can return safely.

Then the goal is to ragha Ngaben ceremony sasira can quickly return to their home in this nature and to the Atma can safely go to the nature Pitra.

Therefore, Ngaben really can not delay. So it should soon be diaben meningga.

Hindu religion in India has been implementing in this way since the old times. The Yudhistira mengabenkan the heroes who died in the fighting fields in Tegal Kurusetra, instantly just by saraa “wija Chess.” The princes of India like Mrs. Indira Gandhi, in a short time already diaben. None of menjelimet Upakara, only pperlu “Pancaka” a furnace, fragrant wood as the fire wood and looked mantram-mantram or continuous chant floated.

Hindu religion in Bali is also, in principle, follow these ways. It’s just still provide an alternative to waiting a while. Awarded to wait a while, probably intended for the gathering of relatives, waited for a good day by sasih (months) and others. but do not wait over a year, if passed could be chipped Sawa Bhuta it. So in fact we are in Bali are given the opportunity not only through the year.

While waiting a year to diaben, Sawa must dipendhem (buried) in the Setra (grave). To not cause an undesirable thing, Sawa who made dipendhempun ceremonies tirtha pangentas (holy water). And the process of return to nature ragha sarira will run maphendem role in this ceremony.

So basically Ngaben ceremonial purposes, namely:
Releasing the Atma from worldly ties.
To get the safety and enjoyment.
To obtain the heavenly morning Pitra.

Nyepi Day Nyepi Day is celebrated every year New Caka (compulsary Caka). Namely on Tilem Kesanga (IX) which is the day pesucian Gods who are in the central core of the ocean that brings living water sarining (Tirtha Amertha Kamandalu). For that Hindus do worship sacred to the Gods.


The main objective is to beg the Nyepi Day kehadapan Lord of the god, to purify Bhuwana Alit (human nature) and Bhuwana Great (universe). Nyepi Day celebration is as follows:

1. Tawur (Pecaruan), Pengrupukan, and Melasti.

The day before Nyepi, namely the “ping” panglong 14 sasih kesanga “Hindus perform ceremonies at a traffic Yadnya Butha and home environment respectively, by taking salahg one of the types of” Caru “according to his ability. Yadnya Bhuta, each named; Panca Sata (small),  Relatives (medium), and  Great (large).

Tawur or pecaruan itself is a purification / pemarisudha Bhuta Kala, and all ‘leteh’ (dirty), hopefully everything vanished.

Caru was conducted in the home, each consisting of; foreign rice color (five colors) accounted for nine duel / package, side dishes chicken brumbun (colored) accompanied tetabuhan wine / wine. Yadnya Bhuta Bhuta is addressed to the King, Bhuta Kala and Kala Bhatara, by pleading that they might not disturb the congregation.

After mecaru pengerupukan WSC, namely: spread rice spread tawur, torch-obori home and throughout the yard, house and yard with menyemburi mesui, and hitting any objects (usually a bell) to sound a crowded / noisy. This stage is performed to drive away from the home environment Bhuta Kala, yards, and the environment.

Especially in Bali, at this pengrupukan usually toned with a parade of ogoh-ogoh is the embodiment of Bhuta Kala who was paraded around the neighborhood, and then burnt. The same goal which is expelled from the surrounding environment Bhuta Kala.

Furthermore done that sweep over all leteh Melasti (gross) into the ocean, and purify “pretima”. Done in the sea, because the sea (ocean) is considered as the source Amertha Tirtha (Dewa Ruci, and Mandaragiri Pemuteran). No later than the Tilem afternoon, pelelastian been completed.

2. Nyepi

Keesoka day, namely on “ping” panglong 15 “(Tilem Kesanga), comes the Nyepi Day. On this day done fasting / peberatan Nyepi called Chess Beratha Penyepian and comprises; observe Geni (no berapi-api/tidak use and / or turn on the fire), observe the work (not working), observe lelungan (not traveling), and observe lelanguan (do not listen to entertainment). Beratha this is done since before sunrise.

According to Hindus, who are switching everything, always preceded by a dark omen. For example a baby who will move into the children (1 oton / 6 months), this symbol is realized with the ‘matekep guwungan’ (closed sangkat chicken). Women who move from childhood to adult (Ngeraja Sewala), the ceremony was preceded by ngekep (secluded).

So for the new period, pursued by the new birth, which actually began with a new, clean white pages. To start life in Çaka / barupun years, this base is used, so there are times observe Geni.

What is more important than the symbol-a symbol of birth is (observe Geni), in accordance with the Lontar Sundari Gama is memutihbersihkan heartstrings, and it is a must for Hindus.

Every knowledgeable person (the wruhing tatwa dnjana) performed; Bharata (lust restraint), yoga (connecting the soul with the Paramatma (God), tapas (suffering from resistance training), and samadhi (single entity to the Lord / Ida Sang Hyang Widhi), which aims physical and spiritual purity).

It became mandatory for all Hindus, so that will have a spiritual readiness to face any challenge life in the new year. Habit of celebrating Hari Raya with spree, gambling, drunkenness is something wrong habits and should be changed.

3. Ngembak Geni (Ngembak Fire)

Last of the celebration of Hari Raya Nyepi is a day which falls on Geni Ngembak date pisan ping (1) sasih kedasa (X). On the day This is the new year begins Çaka. Hindus bersilahturahmi with large families and neighbors, mutual forgiveness forgiveness (ksama), each other.

With the new atmosphere, new life will begin with a clean white hearts. So if the year ends BC December 31, and each new year begins January 1st, the year ended Caka limolas “panglong ping (15) sasih kedasa (X), and the new year began on 1 sasih kedasa (X).

Dynamics of Tourism Bali Cultural Arts

 


 

Art Dynamics Pertujukan Bali Tourism Culture in Context
In general, the performing arts of Bali can be categorized into three: wali (sacred performing arts), which only made when the ritual worship; bebali performances are dedicated to the ceremony but also to visitors; and Balih-balihan nature for mere entertainment in public places. This categorizing affirmed in 1971 by the Advisory Council and Cultural Development (LISTIBIYA) Bali in response to increasing tourism to the show merambahnya arts sacred nature. This meeting recommended that caregivers and the arts that are not bebali dikomesialkan.


Bandem and de Boer in his book Kaja and Kelod: Balinese Dance in Transition in detail to classify the various performing arts in Bali until the early 1980s. Belong to the trustee for example: Berutuk, Sang Hyang Dedari, Rejang and Row Gede; bebali such as: dance, Mask Pajegan, Wayang Wong; and Balih-balihan including: Legong, Parwa, Arja, Prembon, and Joged.

Writing carefully about the Performing Arts Drama and Dance of Bali was first publicized in 1938. Ironically, and certainly not too surprising, that this book written by a stranger named Walter Spies and Beryl de Zoete. Is not a stranger intervention is already part of the history of Bali in general? Walter Spies, Peranakan Russian-German, was a foreigner who is very famous in Bali. He came and settled in Bali starting in 1927 until Jepeng occupation in the early 1940s, a musician, painter, who has a very deep interest in the performing arts in Bali.

Role in the early development of cultural tourism in Bali is no doubt because he was trusted by a stranger who came to Bali at that time to provide cultural experiences, especially the performing arts in Bali. Traditional art performances became regular menu for visitors in the Age of that. Jaba staging performed in various temples (the outside of the temple) in various villages in the area around Ubud and also staging the Bali Hotel, owned by Dutch shipping company, KPM.

It is conceivable that drama and dance performances are often not fully understood by tourists mainly because of language, in addition to general tourists crowded tour schedule.Therefore, interventions carried out by travel agents so that performances can be further shortened to a format that can be understood and enjoyed by tourists. Genres mixture begins to appear that combine with each other genres, such as Cak Ramayana story with a vocal blend of Sang Hyang Dedari made by Spies and a dancer named Limbak; or Barong and Kris dance with excerpts from the Mahabharata.

Performances are usually lasted one hour. Besides, dances popping off (stand-alone dance, does not form part of the drama), and packages that combine a variety of dance performances from the genre off the mask, row, Legong, and others. Balinese performing arts sacred nature usually has a value exoticism and magical so sought after by tourists. There ketergiuran tourism service providers also offer packages then clone these sacred arts. barong performance-Rangda with unying (kris dance) is one classic example profanisasi happened (See bandem and deBoer, 1981:145-150).

Presumably idealism untuktidak guardian and commercialize dance bebali completely unworkable. Now for the performances have started to exhibit imitation pariwista dance Sag Dedari Hyang; Sang Hyang Jaran, Calonarang, and so forth. And the latter is a term developed a new packaging as a combined performance aspects of ritual prossi with various types of performances such as puppet shows simultaneously, dance smack flames, Joged tube, and performances during dinner in the form of Legong, a freelance dance barong dance and drama.

Performing like this is often done in a package tour of the castle (palace) is a royal dinner as it did in the castle Mengwi, Kerambitan and imitated by other castles. Major hotels when organizing the convention or gala dinner show also frequently uses the new packaging. Market pressures to constantly offer something new eventually influence the creation of new types of performing.

Cultural Impact of Tourism on Traditional Performing Arts

 

 

Besides the problems of COM modification and milling, a problem that is often being discussed is the lack of respect or appreciation of the penguasaha tourism to traditional artists. In addition to payments that were classified as low performing arts are often positioned as a complement to the show, usually had dinner at the hotel / restaurant. Artists given the modest facilities and are often not properly introduced. How deep appreciation can occur when the attention of the audience should be divided between pendant food and watch the show? It was common knowledge that in places where tourism show guide or drivers who take tourists get 25-50% commission from the price of admission.


 

Similarly, the art broker (intermediary between artist and buyer) to take a high percentage of the price offered so that the wages received by the artists is very minimal. This may be caused by the large number of artists / arts groups in Bali (high supply), coupled with the lack of such knowledge and managerial skills most artists / artist groups, and because of cultural traditions naiad (the show as a gift and inner satisfaction) that remain condensed among activist art. Bargaining position of artists in the presence of the tourism entrepreneurs to be low, as reflected by the existence of competition in lowering prices between groups with one another.

Indeed there are a handful of hotels and entertainment places are trying to position participate traditional performing arts as a special to his guest. Artists shown are qualified artists or famous artists; staging was not done at meals; there were attempts to give good information (education) to the guests, and they are willing to give the proffered price Steinman. Artists who are sure of their quality is usually dare to fix prices, they have high bargaining power. All this can happen can not be separated from the diversity of the tourists coming. There are tourists who are satisfied with just seeing the show, there are also willing to look the best.

There are government efforts to Bali through his LISTIBIYA to protect artists from exploitation and otherwise provide support and guidance to them in order to maintain or even improve quality. LISTIBIYA issue worthy of such a license for public performances and tourism Culture named Pram Ana Partum to arts groups. The Government continues to urge that the perpetrators of tourism business to give a better appreciation to the artists, both financially and treatment. Governor Decree No.394 and 305 in 1997 such as making wage standards for various types of existing arts groups.

How far the implementation of this effort is still worth exploring. I still observe many performances are conducted in an impressed hotel-hotel/restoring improvise, and read in the media about the lack of appreciation praiwisata complaint to the artists. Perhaps it could be a routine staging that makes the dancer experiencing saturation, in addition there is the assumption that tourists are not yet able to distinguish between a quality show with a no.

The positive impact of tourism can be linked with an increased quantity of the arts and the number of artists, and generally increase in income. The artists hope to be able to stage opportunities in the hotel because it is more frequent or routine rather than performing for the customary ceremony. Please note that performing arts is never separated from the rituals believed to be resumed. Rituals involve some form of performance such as Sang Hang, weak puppets, masks paean, Pendent, various types of dance sacred lines; and still in a ritual context, but also for burin like shadow puppets in the night, candidates for charcoal, or gambol. Increasing people’s purchasing power in general allows the village to buy a custom or ban jar gamelan devices usually also stimulate the formation of groups of drama / dance.

A prominent young artists in Bali (I Nyman Batman, Gainer Butyrate of) the author had interviewed have different views about what is feared by scholars that tourism eroded the traditional art quality. Regular performances are given more opportunities to practice making art more creative and varied. He did not make such performances are done during the dinner because it believes that tourists will automatically pay more attention when his show performances of the food quality.

Location of the main problems existing in the artist – whether he is qualified artists that dare to fix the price or the average of artists who want a low priced. He suggested that it is necessary to bring penguasaha tourism facilitator to dialogue with the artists: that they need each other. Government can also facilitate by making any restrictions or guidelines. About allegation that has happened profanisasi sacred performances he suggested that it be clarified the definition sacred. He thinks that makes a sacred art is that when done to complete by means of ritual ceremonies, offerings. He does not blame if there is a ritual art packed into a spectacle so far does not involve the tourism offerings. He even believes that the arts have made a ritual or classical imitation in order not to become extinct and if need be developed.

An older generation of Balinese art (I Gusty Neural Aging Cabana Sparta of) see it decrease the quality or value. It is inseparable from the development of an increasingly modern era where a lot of things that consume perhatianbaik the artist or the community (the audience), coupled with the development of the syndrome so fast, instant, reflected on the desires of students (including his parents) in order to quickly be able to dance and performed . The challenge for artists today are not as heavy as the first. Rarely are teachers who teach hard and seines first.

Changes in the dynamics of the audience also affects the quality decline. In the era before the 1970s, artists were challenged to achieve their full potential because there is an audience-spectators who came to test. Proximity distance between audience and dancers for a small stage to create the conditions for mutual communication appraisal, communiqués medina taste.

Tajen in Bali

 

 In public life in Indonesia, cockfight gambling are well known and quite popular in some communities in some areas. In Balinese cockfight gambling known as Taken, which comes from the word meaning a sharp spurs and has grown quite rooted in the life of the Balinese community.

 


In the beginning, “Taken” is part of religious rituals or red drum seta take place in the Balinese Hindu community. Which of these require the existence of red drum that was dripping blood as symbols / terms of purified human avarice / greed against the values of materialistic and worldly. Hit the red is also significant as a blind ritual Tanya which the blood that dripped to the earth, mankind is symbolized as a request to Sang Hang Within Was a order to avoid distress.

 In line with the dynamics of the social life of the people of Bali, has been movement in the meaning of the ritual and the red drum, red drum in which the meaning or stamps have been manipulated and diterminologikan seta as Taken. Yet when examined, red drum and taken is a different sense, but in fact, red drum used shields to hold taken.
 
 Ironically taken reality can serve as a medium of interaction and communication across social strata. Background in social status to a liquid and run, people mingle and merge physically and emotionally, all parties focused on the second bout of chicken fights. Even taken by society has also been viewed as one form of entertainment and games tunic eliminate boredom and physical fatigue after heavy activity.

 
 In recent decades the position and role taken getting stronger and it seems to get legitimacy from various circles of society. Some unscrupulous people who held beragurmentasi that taken intended solely for the purposes of construction or development of social economic life of indigenous peoples. From the perspective of legal anthropology, this social phenomenon is a process of decriminalization taken as gambling. Although the terms of the Hindu religion in particular, in the scriptures there is no single adapting Wada that justifies the existence of various forms and types of gambling activities.

Alagoas Expects the Next High Season is the Best in Recent Years

The best summer in recent years. That is the expectation of the State Secretariat of Tourism for the holiday season that is coming. That means hotels and inns with average occupancy exceeding 85% and a movement of money “democratic” it benefits the seller of acaraje and coconut to taxi drivers, pubs and restaurants.

The Assistant Secretary of Tourism of Alagoas, Danielle Novis, attributes the fact – well, of course, the natural appeal that marks Alagoas tourism for decades – to a repositioning of the state on the national scene. “The Government pointed to tourism as a major economic axis and has handled the industry with professionalism. This has borne good fruit, “he says.

As evidence of good fruit, the assistant secretary shows numbers unquestionable. The high season should have around 150 000 tourists in hotels only Alagoas, against 120 000 last summer. At sea, the news is also good. One hundred and twenty thousand tourists must pass through the state in 58 cruises planned for the period, up from 75,000 last season. Added to this the 180 000 passengers on regular flights and charters more than 50 000 of which come from Italy and Chile. “If we include tourists who come by land, since the regional market represents a large portion of our users, we can say that the station will be very good,” celebrates Novis.

New beds

And to get so many people, the tourist infrastructure gained acceptance in recent years, the state saw the emergence of new hotels – some large – as Miramar (Maragogi), Keno (Barra de São Miguel) Salinas Maceio (Ipioca) Brisa Tower (Jatiúca) and Radisson (Pajucara).

And do not stop there. The projects in construction and design point to a considerable growth in the number of beds. According to Setur, the state will jump from 14 000 to more than 20 000 beds within two years. Suites hotels like the Ritz, which is being erected on the beach in Cruz das Almas, will contribute over 336 beds in the second half of next year. There are also new designs for the northern and southern regions of the state.

“The Virginio (Loureiro, sec. Estadual de Turismo) always says that the big difference today is the presence of the state, prioritizing the sector. That is credibility operators, agents and entrepreneurs in the industry, “Novis said. “In many of these developments, Setur took the hand of a businessman and tried to solve problems with Ceal, Young, Ima (Environment Institute), among other organs.” She recalls that when he took the folder, in 2007, there was a hostel which was not built for lack of just two letters.

Danielle Novis, this resumption of tourism brings a basic sense for alagoano: the rescue of self-esteem. She said Alagoas like to see the town being admired by visitors. Besides, who first benefits from improving the infrastructure of the town is the neighbor, “he says.

CHECK-IN
Quiet work

Danielle told Novis TNH a fact that few know. The reorganization of Pajuçara – which extends to Jacarecica – entered the list of PAC works after a work championed by Setur, which brought together some 60 agencies and entities. In 2007, the group visited various parts of the border to target the most critical areas.

Foreign tourists

Recently, Setur met with the Federal Police, Infraero and the IRS. The goal: make life easier for foreign tourists arriving in Alagoas International Airport Zumbi dos Palmares.

Numbers

Alagoas last year received 1.8 million tourists. On average, each turns out here 250 dollars per day. Do the calculation and see how it contributes to the state’s economy.

Democratic

And it never hurts to remember. This money goes to the agency and from the hotel, but the waiter arrives, the craftsman and the traveling. It is an expense of democracy, with great social importance.
