Ubud Monkey Forest

2013-12-03T16:21:00.002+07:00

The Ubud Monkey Forest is a nature reserve and temple complex in Ubud, Bali. Its full name as written on a welcome sign is the Padangtegal Mandala Wisata Wanara Wana Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. The complex houses approximately 605 Crab-eating Macaque (Macaca fascicularis) monkeys (39 adult males, 38 male sub adult, 194 adult females, 243 juvenile and 91 infants —2011—).There are four groups of monkeys each occupying different territories in the park. The Sacred Monkey Forest is a popular tourist attraction in Ubud, and is often visited by over 10,000 tourists a month.The forest comprises approximately a tenth of a square kilometer (approximately 10ha or 27 acres) and contains at least 115 different species of trees. The Monkey Forest contains the Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal temple as well as a "Holy Spring" bathing temple and another temple used for cremation ceremonies. The Monkey Forest is owned by the village of Padangtegal, and village members serve on the Monkey Forest's governing council. The Padangtegal Wenara Wana Foundation manages the Monkey Forest and serves to maintain its sacred integrity and to promote the sacred site as a destination for visitors.

The forest has been populated by monkeys in greater numbers than an environment undisturbed by humans would allow for a number of years, with the population density now (2013) higher than ever. The visitor will notice the interesting phenomenon of numerous obese monkeys, a testament to the almost unbounded food supply the huge number of tourists entering in and near the forest provide. Tourists are bitten by monkeys daily and numerous of these attacks can be can be found by a key word searches on YouTube. The monkeys - crab eating macaques - will invariably approach human visitors in a large group and then grab any bags containing food. They may also grab bags not containing food. If the demanded food is readily provided the monkeys will usually not, although occasionally will, bite the human owner. If the demanded food is not provided quickly enough, one or more of the monkeys will certainly bite the human owner. Numerous bites occur because humans are not quick enough in producing a desired food item. Given that tourists don't enter and travel the monkey forest armed and ready to fight relatively small monkeys, and that dogs are not allowed inside, the monkeys have none of the normal environmental competitors to keep them in check. They have also lost the fear of humans normal to almost all animals.

Monkey bites are a very serious medical event given the variety of viruses monkeys carry that can be transferred to humans. For example, herpes B virus is very prevalent in crab eating macaques, should be assumed to be very prevalent in the populations in Ubud Monkey Forest, and frequently causes death in humans. Given their apparently increasing aggressiveness, and the risk they pose to human health, there have been calls by Balinese politicians for a cull of macaques in Bali. These calls have not been formally accepted by authorities.

Villages in Bali

2010-09-29T12:34:00.001+07:00

Villages in Bali is the most unique village in the world. If you have enough time to visit, Bali villages located not far away from town, you will find out the real Balinese village. Usually you will see the vast green rice fields of traditional villages. Birds in the sky, and step ways to cross the rice farmers.

Above the village, we will find the village temple to mebakti (prayer) and worship every purnama (full moon), tilem (dead moon) and kajeng kliwon villagers and yard. Once in six months, there was a ceremony, the villagers out of their houses dressed in traditional clothing, bring products and (ritual) dedicated pujawali.

The end of the village, it is always there for a Pula Dalem (internal Temple), and the next village with a serious Pula prajapati. In this grave, the dying villagers prick and prayer, Ngaben cremation.

The most interesting is that in the middle of the village, there is a nothing more banjar, a wantilan (construction), a place the villagers together for life from piodalan any aspect of the discussion, cremation, agriculture, management subak (traditional irrigation system), the selection of village cadres. Villagers take from this banjar DESA mawacara called discretion.

Gate House

If we walk around the house into the village, there angkul - angkul (gate) and it is often cultivated with the bunga jepun (egg flower) or sometimes nyuh GADING (yellow coconut) plantations. The streets of the village is very pretty split. There are many such similar Bali Penglipuran village street, village and Sembiran Tenganan villages or Sukawati village, a traditional village.

Village Temple
Banjar as a gathering place for the villagers, the village in the social and the smallest unit of exchange. Although banjar is the smallest part in Bali, but the structure is not clear which one is first formed, village or banjar (sub-village). It is clear that, banjar is a place where people come to discuss matters of mutual interest as sangkep or parum (the meeting). For most villagers in Bali, banjar the value of social transformation is a local Hindu Bali. Most social activities are banjar.

This is not surprising, if we see the villagers learned to play gamelan, ngigel (dance), and even metajen (gambling or fighting cocks), and masliahan (relax).

Some say banjar term meaning derived from the banjah called open and spread bebanjaran or parallel. Pronunciation of the word has the same meaning banjar place the rights and obligations krama the banjar itself (all members) of their community.

Members of the banjar can be divided into krama DESA Tua or Monk (unmarried members), krama pengarep or grehasta (key members), krama penyada, who is a member of the duties, and the release of members of the krama penglingsir (and old members .)

Cremation ceremony

Another point is to pay the necessary attention is nothing more kulkul banjar in each building (wooden tower) was established. Kulkul is made of wood clock to provide information banjar members.

Banjar Bali ngambel activities like a people (to run their practices) in the center. Even Bali's self-image is to express their social attitudes and friendship, and their indicators. Therefore, it is not surprising if there were kasepekang banjar members (isolation). This is why banjar is a tourist magnet, if we really want to explore Bali.

There are various buildings in Bali, and one known to all Federation (built on your life). Association for the Bali does not mean a building, the building itself composed of several packages. Occupied by a few packets of a Federation plot of land on the completion of the entire house.

A Council of ingredients called karang sikut satak. In other words, a single plot of land measures 14 × 13 depa, a depa is equal to the length between a grown man, his hands and spread them.

This karang sikut satak divided into three parts. The Department is based on TN Mandala, divided into areas of land that he horse, madya and nista plot concept. District Utama is "parahyangan" a local, family prayer, the district madya as "pawongan" is - the family members here to do their daily activities, and regional nista "palemahan" where the animals, cages, plants, etc.

Council is to build around the perimeter of 4 paduraksas, there are four walls of the angle of the wall columns. Each point is the name of Sri Lanka raksa, Aguilar raksa, Rudra raksa, and Kara raksa. Council of the entrance to the courtyard as angkul - angkul. The simplest angkul - angkul lelengen and most complex known as the so-called Bintang aring Furusato / gelung Gurion.

Prayer

The input angkul - angkul, you will see the wall as Carole, Carole face you. Carole, Carole is a wall of the restrictions and guidance at the same time to prevent from and into the yard (through angkul - angkul house natah) people watching.

Natah open space in the middle of the house. Bali's activities, including ceremonies, held here. Another place, they can do their religious activities are related to several of its pelinggih (sacred architecture) sanggah (where the family worship.) Although parahyangan place of worship is called sanggah, it is called pelangkiran (worship by a package name) pawongan, and it is called a palemahan penunggun karang.

Of: the number of packets in a Council of Economic and Social Affairs according to different, Patra (place, time, situation) and the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the concept of MaWa CARA (local customs / traditions). However, generally fills four to six units, each being based on their location or direction, such as the compass fills daja (North balai) the name, Bell dangin (in East balai), Bell delod (in South balai) and Bale dauh ( Western balai).

Bale is also based on the building of a named type. Bale daja simple as Midland. In the meten. Midland has four pillars in the balcony in front of Bandung is known as the American League. If the other four pillars are added in front as if it was like the appearance of a two-floor veranda, it is known as the proportion of meten Hill.

Clock Tower

Bale delod a not so popular in Bali. In Puri (as rulers of the house the past), Bale is known as nothing more sumanggen delod or tied mundak, which is called Bale dangin singasari.

Other building to form a traditional Balinese house is paon (kitchen) and jineng (rice barn). About paon interesting is its shape is known as the Kong Kampiah. Shape the flow of air and sunlight into the kitchen with ease.

Balinese painting art

2010-06-15T12:19:00.002+07:00

Balinese art is art of Hindu-Javanese origin that grew from the work of artisans of the Majapahit Kingdom, with their expansion to Bali in the late 13th century. Since then, Ubud and its neighboring villages have been the center of Balinese art. Ubud and Batuan are known for their paintings, Mas for their woodcarvings, Celuk for gold and silver smiths, and Batubulan for their stone carvings.

Recent history

Prior to 1920s, Balinese traditional paintings were restricted to what is now known as the Kamasan or Wayang style. It is a visual narrative of Hindu-Javanese epics: the Ramayana and Mahabharata. These two-dimensional drawings are traditionally drawn on cloth or bark paper (Ulantaga paper) with natural dyes. The coloring is limited to available natural dyes: red, ochre, black, etc. In addition, the rendering of the figures and ornamentations must follow strictly prescribed rules, since they are mostly produced for religious articles and temple hangings. These paintings are produced collaboratively, and therefore mostly anonymously.

In the 1920s, with the arrival of many western artists, Bali became an artist enclave (as Tahiti was for Paul Gauguin) for avant-garde artists such as Walter Spies (German), Rudolf Bonnet (Dutch), Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur (Belgian), Arie Smit (Dutch) and Donald Friend (Australian) in more recent years. Bali has also attracted world famous anthropologists, from Stutterheim (Dutch) to Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead (American).

On his first visit to Bali in 1930, the Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias noted that local paintings served primarily religious or ceremonial functions. They were used as decorative cloths to be hung in temples and important houses, or as calendars to determine childrens horoscopes. Yet within a few years, he found the art form had undergone a "liberating revolution." Where they had once been severely restricted by subject (mainly episodes from Hindu mythology) and style, Balinese artists began to produce scenes from rural life. Whats more, these painters developed increasing individuality.

This groundbreaking period of creativity reached a peak in the late 1930s. A stream s to the depiction of daily Bali life and drama; (2) the change of the patron of these artists from the religious temples and royal houses to western tourists/collectors; (3) shifting the picture composition from multiple to single focus. The latter is most evident in the works of Ubud artists.

Despite the adoption of modern western painting traditions by many Balinese and Indonesian painters, the neo-traditional Balinese painting tradition is still thriving and continues by descedents/students of the artists of the pre-war modernist era (1928-1942). The schools of neo-traditional Balinese painting include: Ubud, Batuan, Sanur, Young Artist and Keliki schools of painting.

The Three Villages

Much of the buzz emanated from three villages: Ubud, where Spies settled, Sanur on the southern coast, and Batuan, a traditional hub of musicians, dancers, carvers and painters. The artists painted mostly on paper, though canvas and board were also used. Often, the works featured repetitive clusters of stylized foliage or waves that conveyed a sense of texture, even perspective. Each village evolved a style of its own. Ubud artists made more use of open spaces and emphasized human figures. Sanur paintings often featured erotic scenes and animals, and work from Batuan was less colorful but tended to be busier.

Ubud Painting

Ubud has been the center of art for centuries, with the surrounding royal houses and temples as the main patrons. Prior to the 1920s, traditional wayang style paintings dominated the subject matters, although Jean Couteau (1999) believes that both secular and religious theme paintings have long been co-existing in the form of the expression of the unity of opposites (Rwabhinneda in Balinese belief system).

It was not until the late 1920s that this balance was tilted toward secular art by the arrival of western artists such as Covarubias, Le Mayeur de Mepres, Theo Meier, Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet. The last two artists were often credited as the agents of change that brought Balinese Art to modernity. Their influence culminated with the founding of the Pitamaha Art Guild in 1936, with Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati as one of its founders. Its mission was to preserve the quality of Balinese Art in the rush of tourism to Bali. The board members of Pitamaha met regularly to select paintings submitted by its members, and to conduct exhibitions throughout Indonesia and abroad. Pitamaha was active until the beginning of the second world war in 1942.

The subject matters shifted from religious narration to Balinese daily life. Ubud artists who were members to Pitamaha came from Ubud and its surrounding villages; Pengosekan, Peliatan and Tebasaya. Among them were: Ida Bagus Made Kembeng of the village of Tebesaya and his three sons -- Ida Bagus Wiri, Ida Bagus Made and Ida Bagus Belawa; Tjokorda Oka of the royal house of Peliatan; I Dewa Sobrat, I Dewa Meregeg, I Dewa Putu Bedil, I Dewa Dana of Padangtegal; I Gusti Ketut Kobot, I Gusti Made Baret, I Wayan Gedot of Pengosekan; and I Gusti Nyoman Lempad.

The spirit of Pitamaha is well preserved by the descendents of these artists. Contemporary Ubudian artists include I Ketut Budiana, I Nyoman Meja, I Nyoman Kayun, A.A. Gde Anom Sukawati, I Gusti Agung Wiranata, Ida Bagus Sena, and many others.

Batuan Painting

The Batuan school of painting is practiced by brahman artists in the village of Batuan, which is situated ten kilometers to the South of Ubud. The Batuan artisans are gifted dancers, sculptors and painters. Major Batuan artists from the pre-modernist era include I Dewa Njoman Mura (1877-1950) and I Dewa Putu Kebes (1874-1962), who were known as sanging; traditional Wayang-style painters for temples ceremonial textiles.

The western influence in Batuan did not reach the intensity it had in Ubud. According to Claire Holt, the Batuan paintings were often sultry, crowded representations of either legendary scenes or themes from daily life, but they portrayed above all fearsome nocturnal moments when grotesque spooks, freakish animal monsters, and witches accosted people. This is particularly true for paintings collected by Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson during their field studies in Bali in 1936 to 1939. Gradations of black to white ink washes laid over most of the surface, so as to create an atmosphere of darkness and gloom. In the later years, the designs covered the entire space, which often contributed to the crowded nature of these paintings.

Among the early Batuan artists, I Ngendon (1903-1946) was considered the most innovative Batuan School painter. Ngendon was not only a good painter, but a shrewd business man and political activist. He encouraged and mobilized his neighbours and friends to paint for tourist consumption. The major Batuan artists from this period were: I Patera (1900-1935), I Tombos (b. 1917), Ida Bagus Togog (1913-1989), Ida Bagus Made Jatasura (1917-1946), Ida Bagus Ketut Diding (1914-1990), I Made Djata (1920-2001), and Ida Bagus Widja (1912-1992). The spirit of the Pitamaha period is still strong and continues by contemporary Batuan Artists such as I Made Budi, I Nyoman Bendi, I Ketut Murtika, and many others.

Sanur Painting

The Sanur school of painting is the most stylized and decorative among all modern Balinese Art. It features members of the animal kingdom often drawn in an Escher-like manner. Major artists from Sanur are I Rundu, Ida Bagus Nyoman Rai, I Soekarja, I Poegoeg, I Rudin, and many others.

Young Artist Painting

The development of the Young Artist School of painting is attributed to the Dutch artist Arie Smit, a Dutch soldier who served during the 2nd world war and decided to stay in Bali. In the early 1960s, he came across children in the village of Penestanan near Tjampuhan drawing on the sand. He encouraged these children to paint by providing them with paper and paints. Their paintings are characterized by "child-like" drawings and bright colors. By 1970s, it attracted around three hundred peasant painters to produce paintings for tourists.

In 1983, the National Gallery of Malaysia held a major exhibition on the Young Artist paintings from the collection of Datuk Lim Chong Kit. Major artists from the Young Artist School are I Wayan Pugur, I Ketut Soki, I Ngurah KK, I Nyoman Londo, I Ketut Tagen, and many others.
