Abstract

This study examines the philosophy of sacredness in the Rejang Dewa dance as a medium for purifying space in the Balinese Hindu tradition. Rejang Dewa is a sacred dance performed in a series of Dewa Yadnya and is understood as a representation of the descent of divine vibrations into the ritual space. This study uses a qualitative approach with religious ethnography methods through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results show that every element in Rejang Dewa—movement, music, costume, formation, and the sanctity of the dancers—contains symbolism that reflects the concept of śuddhi or purification in Hindu teachings. This dance functions to harmonize the energy of space so that it is worthy of being a vehicle for the presence of niskala power. In addition, the study found that Rejang Dewa strengthens the values ​​of dharma, traditional solidarity, and Balinese Hindu cosmology. Thus, this dance not only serves as an expression of sacred aesthetics, but also as a theological medium that maintains cosmic balance in religious ceremonies.
