Description
yay This Barong, Most famous Balinese holy beast. I can say that he is a mascot of Bali, my land
About Barong:
A lion-like divine beast or king of spirits from the mythology Bali. He represents the side of Good in Bali Hinduism, and is eternally at odds with the witch Rangda, who represents the side of Evil. Even if he is defeated he will always revive, and continues his fight with Rangda eternally.
The lion barong is one of five traditional Barong. In Bali each region of the island has its own protective spirit for its forests and lands. Each Barong for each region is modeled after a different animal. There is a boar, a tiger, a dragon (or serpent) and the traditional lion. The lion is the popular one as it comes from the Gianyar region where Ubud (the home of tourist viewed ritual) is located. Within the calonarong, the dance drama in which the Barong appears, the barong responds to Rangda's use of magic to control and kill her to restore balance.
Barong dance is one of Balinese populair tradition. You can see Barong at KoF 97, at Bali stage
