The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with Batur traditional figures, temple caretakers Pura Tuluk biyu, and text documentation studies.

Ida Pandita Bhujangga achieved an increase in status from human to bhattara who is worshipped by the Batur community through the Ida Bhattara Bhujangga shrine, reflecting the concept of Hindu Theology. The existence of the Ida Bhattara Bhujangga Shrine and Pratima in the Tuluk Biyu Batur Temple is the embodiment Saguna Brahman.
