

6. BALI TRADITIONAL ‘UMAH’
 The proportioning of an umah is
called karang sikut satak..
 This karang sikut satak is divided
into three parts, based on the
concept of the Mandala, which
divides a plot into zone utama,
madya, and nista. Zone utama
is,"parahyangan" a place for the
family prayer, zone madya is for
"pawongan" - a place for daily
activities, and zone nista is for
"palemahan" a place for animals,
cages, plants etc.

7. BALI TRADITIONAL ‘UMAH’
 Around the umah are built
confining walls with 4
paduraksas, pillars on the walls
having four angles. The names of
each angle are sri raksa, aji
raksa, rudra raksa, and kala
raksa. The entrance to the yard
of the umah is called angkul-
angkul. The simplest angkul-
angkul is called lelengen and the
most complicated is called
bintang aring and kori/gelung
kori.
 After you enter the angkul-
angkul, you will see a wall called
aling-aling facing you. Aling-aling
is a wall which limits and at the
same time guides so as to
prevent people from viewing from
and into the yard (natah of the
house through angkul-angkul).
Angkul-angkul
Aling-aling

8. BALI TRADITIONAL ‘UMAH’
 Natah is an open space in the middle of the
house. The Balinese's activities, including all
kinds of ceremonies, take place here. Another
place where they can do their religious
activities is the sanggah (a place of worship
for family) with its several pelinggih (holy
buildings). While a place of worship at a
parahyangan is called a sanggah, at a
pawongan it is called a pelangkiran (a place of
worship for each bale), and at a palemahan it
is called a penunggun karang.
 The number of bales (buiding) in one umah
varies according to the concepts of desa,
kala, patra (place, time, situation) and desa
mawa cara (local customs/traditions).
However, in general there are four to six units
of bale, the names of each being based on
their position or the direction of compass such
as the bale daja (balai in the north), bale
dangin (balai in the east), bale delod (balai in
the south), and bale dauh (balai in the west).

9. BALI TRADITIONAL ‘UMAH’
 The naming of a bale is also
based on the typology of the
building. The simplest bale
daja is called meten. The
meten which has a veranda
with four pillars in front is called
meten bandung. If another four
pillars are added in front as if it
looks like a two-floored
veranda, then it is called meten
gunung rata.
 The same applies to the bale
dangin which is based on the
number of its pillars : bale
dangin saka enam ( six pillars),
saka kutus (eight pillars), and
saka roras (twelve pillars).

10. HINDU BALI
 Balinese Hindu, mixed with elements of
Buddhism, animism and ancestor worship
 Lower castes outnumber the higher castes
by ten to one. Holy men, military
personnel, and the merchants rank at the
top of the hierarchy.
 With 3 million residents, it has numerous
orchestras, actors/actress, dancers, and
artists. Frequent religious festivals, feasts,
and other ceremonies

11. HINDUISM -
DIFFUSION/CULTURAL
 Essentially is a cultural religion of South
Asia.
 Hinduism is “a way of life”, if you build a
temple you will be rewarded. So, there
are many “shrines” which should be in a
“comfortable” position (for example, under
a large, shady tree) and near water which
has a holy function in Hinduism.
 A village temple should face the village
from a prominent position

resmi (official residence) Sultan yang bertahta. Bangunan yang
didominasi warna kuning pada pintu dan tiangnya
dipergunakan sebagai kantor pribadi.

Kemagangan. Gerbang ini begitu penting karena di dinding
penyekat sebelah utara terdapat patung dua ekor ular yang
menggambarkan tahun berdirinya Keraton Yogyakarta. Di sisi
selatannya pun terdapat dua ekor ular di kanan dan kiri
gerbang yang menggambarkan tahun yang sama.

32. THE KRATON JOGJAKARTA

tempat upacara Bedhol Songsong, pertunjukan wayang kulit
yang menandai selesainya seluruh prosesi ritual di Keraton.
Pawon Ageng (dapur istana) Sekul Langgen berada di sisi timur
dan Pawon Ageng Gebulen berada di sisi barat. Kedua nama
tersebut mengacu pada jenis masakan nasi Langgi dan nasi
Gebuli. Di sudut tenggara dan barat daya terdapat Panti
Pareden.Kedua tempat ini digunakan untuk membuat
Pareden/Gunungan pada saat menjelang Upacara Garebeg. Di
sisi timur dan barat terdapat gapura yang masing-masing
merupakan pintu ke jalan Suryoputran dan jalan Magangan.

menghubungkan kompleks Kamagangan dengan Regol
Gadhung Mlati. Dahulu di bagian pertengahan terdapat

terdapat sebuah gerbang, Regol Gadhung Mlati, yang
menghubungkan kompleks Kamagangan dengan kompleks
Kamandhungan Kidul/selatan. Dinding penyekat gerbang ini
memiliki ornamen yang sama dengan dinding penyekat
gerbang Kamagangan. Di kompleks Kamandhungan Kidul
terdapat bangunan utama Bangsal Kamandhungan. Bangsal ini
konon berasal dari pendapa desa Pandak Karang Nangka di
daerah Sukawati yang pernah menjadi tempat Sri Sultan
Hamengkubuwono I bermarkas saat perang tahta III. Di sisi
selatan Kamandhungan Kidul terdapat sebuah gerbang, Regol
Kamandhungan, yang menjadi pintu paling selatan dari
