Abstract

Selonding is a part of Gamelan Tua, A rarely known musical instrument out of many Balinese gamelan. This sacred instrument can be found in several old villages in Karangasem regency, such as Bugbug, Prasi, Seraya, Tenganan Pegringsingan, Timbrah, Asak, Bungaya, Ngis, Bebandem, Besakih, Selat. However, some studies claimed that Gamelan Selonding today could only be seen in the Tenganan Pegringsingan and Bongaya villages. Selonding is the only type of iron-blade Balinese Gamelan. Low steel content on the iron ingot produces a softer sound texture than bronze gamelan, broadly used. The soft and rhythmic audio from Gamelan Selonding, according to the study, was said to reduce the elder’s anxiety level from moderate to mild. Despite its high cultural value and vital for the Bali Aga ritual, low exposure and promotion about Selonding Gamelan were reasons for the low interest and concern of young people in Bali for their own culture. To promote Selonding among Balinese, various studies proposed many mediums to attract public interest, including the documentary film production about the ancient instruments, and introduce an android-based application to learn playing Gamelan Selonding from users’ smartphones. Furthermore, today, Sekaa Selonding exists not only on Karangasem Regency but also in other parts of Bali since many Balinese youngsters outside Karangasem are interested in learning Gamelan Selonding.

Abstract

The word Tumpek refers to the meeting of the five-day wewaran system (Panca Wara), namely Kliwon, with the seven-day wewaran (Sapta Wara) system, namely Saniscara or Saturday. The five-day wewaran, seven-day wewaran, and pawukon cycle encounter gave birth to the concept of Tumpek as a day of celebration of objects and creatures that have an important role in human life. Pawukon determines the suffix of the tumpek, which takes place twice a year. For example, if the Tumpek falls on Pawukon Uye will be called Tumpek Uye, then the Tumpek that falls on pawukon Krulut will be called Tumpek Krulut. On Tumpek Krulut, Balinese Hindus worship His manifestation as Lord Iswara. A deity, lord of sacred sounds creation. Some scholars argue that the word Krulut, comes from the word Lulut which means affection love. Balinese ancestors adapted this term from the old Javanese calendar. Later, the word krulut in Tumpek Krulut is associated with celebration of love. In February 2022, The Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster considered Tumpek Krulut as the Balinese day of love. As the same as Valentine’s Day celebrations in this era. Wayan Koster emphasized that Hindus and Balinese people can use the Tumpek Kerulut as indigenous momentum to cherish love.

The salt industry is a strategic sector that needs to be developed, considering that Indonesia is still dependent on imported products despite having vast marine potential. Assistances from Government and private sector becomes a possible solution, to elevate the commodities standard thus the high-quality local salt might be accepted by Global communities.

Abstract

Legal issues have recently become a public spotlight, especially for victims involved in legal cases. To that end, the Klungkung District Attorney established the Restorative Justice Agency to reduce crime by holding a meeting between the victim and the defendant. Kertha Gosa, a historical landmark located in the middle of the city of Semarapura, has been chosen to be the center of the activity. The Kertha Gosa has served as a venue for trial since the glorious time of the Semarapura Kingdom. After the dutch invasion of Indonesia in 1908, the place continued to hold the title of hall of justice, including several functions as an educational institution for expatriates. According to its historical facts and values, a decision to make the Kertha Gosa site a restorative justice center for Klungkung regency was an excellent resolve. The Regent of Klungkung, I Nyoman Suwirta, appreciated the given status of the hall as the center to resolve crime acts. Furthermore, the Head of the Bali High Court, Ade T. Sutiawarman, expected the historical site would continue to represent law enforcement but still maintain a good relationship in society.

Abstract

In the past, Balinese artists have been perfecting their skills in arts as an expression of gratitude to the Higher being or as a service to the community. One of the classic painting styles that endured through time in Bali since the days when King Anak Wungsu reigned. The classic art is the painting style from Kamasan village, Klungkung, known as Lukisan Wayang Kamasan or Kamasan Shadow Puppet Painting. Kamasan puppet painting is an expression of Wayang performance, composed into a 2-dimensional painting. The method of storytelling in the form of painting developed rapidly during the reign of ancient Bali, especially by the people who lived in the Kamasan village of ??Klungkung. The steps in determining the layout of the image, the drawing process, color making, and the coloring process of the Kamasan puppet painting are still used traditionally. The Indonesia Education and Culture ministry announced the submission of the Wayang Kamasan painting to UNESCO in early February 2022. This submission is a re-submission after the Kamasan puppet painting was proposed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2018 by the Indonesian Government. However, the submission of the Kamasan Wayang painting as an intangible cultural heritage in 2018 was rejected because the documents were incomplete. The purpose of the protection in this convention is for art preservation, especially, for future generations. It means that anyone can use it, not just the group to whom the recognition of ownership of the intangible cultural heritage is given.

Abstract

Since ancient times, people have recorded their knowledge of processing various herbs into medicine. In Bali, it can be found scattered on the island under the term Lontar Usadha, written on dried-Borassus leaves. From many types of traditional medicine and treatments in Lontar Usadha, Boreh has endured through centuries. There are three types of Boreh known by Balinese folks. It is classified according to their effect on the body: Boreh anget, Boreh miyik, and Boreh tis. Despite its popularity as a health treatment that has endured throughout time, it should be admitted that society's understanding regarding the ingredient's composition, processing steps, and the applying method is strongly influenced by the available information sources around them, as well as the ingredients. To appreciate and conserve the knowledge of Boreh making, the Bali Provincial Culture Office held a Boreh-making competition. On the spot, the public could see various Boreh ingredients that most Balinese rarely find today. On the other hand, the Government has a strategic plan to develop Wellness tourism as a new activity option when tourists visit Bali. In line with the effort to introduce Boreh as a traditional medicine from Bali, tourists can experience traditional treatment from their hotel or spa.

Abstract

In historical records, Babad Dalem, there is a record about Usaba Sumbu, A celebration that represents the people's gratitude for the prosperity and resilience of the Gelgel Kingdom. As part of King Dalem Waturenggong’s territory, Bungaya traditional village, which today becomes part of Karangasem regency, has carried out Usaba Sumbu activities since the 16th century, even some claimed it had been performed since the 11th century. The whole series of rituals and ceremonies on Usaba Sumbu is viewed as offerings to ask for Amertha, the elixir of life. It is expected that the lord will bless the residents of the indigenous Village prosperous and welfare life. The tradition sparks a sense of togetherness and increases tolerance and cooperation among the people since the entire village community attends the annual ceremony. It encompasses cultural values, brotherhood, and economic values. The tradition lives as a cultural identity of the traditional village community in Karangasem and represents the people’s values. For instance, the value of brotherhood can be seen when the villager shares their roasted pork with others who could not afford the meat on occasion due to economic conditions or else. The high demand for porks, chickens or other livestock when preparing the ceremony allows local businesses to flourish. It indeed indirectly improves the local economy.
