摘要:Religious ceremonies are inseparable part of being Balinese Hindus,either those related to personal yadnya rites,dadya groups,or desa pakraman. Various ritual facilities are attractively and beautifully displayed, expressing the beauty of those offerings as well as sincere,pure and sacred feeling. What concerns us most is that the supposedly sacred rituals that are held with sincere and pure feelings are not always meant to be purely religious activities. It could be because such rituals are held to show off social status;therefore ceremonial aspects are more dominant than the religious ones. In fact,more often than not,tajen cockfights accompany the rituals construed as tabuh rah: a phenomenon that combines sacred rituals with a show off and immoral gambling. The reason has been the lack in understanding of the rituals: tabuh rah and tajen. Here lies a difficult paradox: the sacred religious rites have always been accompanied by a show off and immoral cockfight as gambling. The creation of this sculpture work is intended to give bettors (or bobotohs) an understanding that the rituals should be held with sincerity and not using them for gambling. The methods which are used,such as: exsploration,improvisation,and manifestation. The creation is expected to serve the purpose of comparative studies on further creation sculptural works.
