Ratu Subandar Temple at Besakih

pura ratu subandarThe Ratu Subandar Temple at Besakih, Karangasem, is located at the upper three stairs from the Penataran Agung Besakih. Local temple priests Mangku Cik, Gusti Mangku Suputra and Jero Mangku Ugu met on the sidelines of serving the pilgrims not long ago. They said that 99 percent of the pilgrims worshipping at the temple were businessmen or traders. Mangku Cik conveyed that the Ratu Subandar Temple had the same function as Melanting Temple. The latter temple of swagina or profession is located above the market. Especially at Besakih, there was also the Ratu Subandar Temple.
Essentially, there are two shrines at this temple. One shrine is located on the left namely the Ratu Ulang Alu. The deity abiding and adored at the shrine is illuminating the pengalu or peddlers. To the right side of this shrine is the shrine of Ratu Ayu Subandar. She is adored by entrepreneurs or traders. Both shrines apply the Balinese architectural style. However, the hallmark of Chinese culture or influence is very dominant in which the accessories and fabrics of the shrines are all in red showing typical Chinese attibutes. Similarly, each corner is also embellished with red lantern ornaments.
The local temple priests are not certain about the history of the Ratu Subandar Temple in the upper eastern part of the Penataran Agung. This temple is located above the northern corner of Penataran Agung. It shows the Chinese influence brought by traders or merchants (Subandar) since the seventh century in the Srivijaya era and which continued through to the Majapahit era. It is estimated that the Chinese traders have influenced Balinese culture and economy since ancient times, where many interactions occurred between the local community and Chinese merchants, which is why both these communities worship Ida Ratu Ayu Subandar at Besakih Temple. Mangku Cik said the piodalan or temple anniversary of this temple fell on Galungan, Buda Kliwon Dungulan.http://bali-travelnews.com

Pura Dalem Balingkang

Showing Chinese Influence in Bali

dalem balingkangPura Dalem Balingkang yang terletak di sebelah Utara Gunung Batur ini, erat kaitanya dengan raja-raja di Bali jaman dahulu, dan terjadi akulturasi agama Hindu dan Buda yang berasal dari Negeri Tionghoa. Pura Dalem Balingkang berlokasi di Desa Pinggan, Kintamani, Bangli. Dibangun pada abad ke-11 oleh raja Sri Jaya Pangus Harkajalancana, dalam pemerintahannya beliau didampingi oleh permaisuri utama yaitu Sri Parameswari Induja Ketana, beliau adalah putri utama yang berasal dari Danau Batur.
Dalam masa pemerintahanya raja Sri Jaya Pangus menikahi seorang wanita cina yang bernama Kang Cing Wei yang bergelar Putri Ayu Subandar. Karena perbedaan agama pernikahan itupun ditentang oleh banyak kalangan termasuk penasehat raja yaitu Mpu Siwa Gandhu yang merupakan Bhagawanta di kerajaan. Karena suatu musibah istana Sri Jaya Pangus hancur porak poranda dan putri Kang Cing Wei ikut meninggal dalam bencana tersebut.
Nama Dalem Balingkang, berasal dari kata Dalem yaitu kata tempat Kuta Dalem Jong Les dan Balingkang dari asal kata Bali yang artinya raja yang menguasai jagat Bali, Ing artinya permaisuri, Kang berasal dari nama Putri Kang Cing Wie. Karena kecintaan raja dengan putri sehingga pasca wafatnya putri dibangun pura ini, dan keberadaan pelinggih Putri Ayu Subandar yang didominasi warna mencolok merah dan kuning, yang merupakan dominasi warna bangunan wihara.http://bali-travelnews.com
