be seen by particular people,” he explained. That’s why every day motorists or car drivers always dropped by at the Penyawangan of Ratu Niang Sakti to beg salvation. Many also asked the smoothness and success in their workplace. “If people come with bad intention, they will usually see the appearance of the Regek Tugek,” he said. Some of them believed if the Tirta (holy water) at the liaison shrine was efficacious to cure diseases. Jero Mangku Tokir later pointed out, there used to be a resident whose mouth was oblique and then invoked holy water at the liaison shrine. After that, the man gradually recovered. “I have confidence that armed with sincerity and pure mind God will definitely grant. And there are many other stories,” said the man who had paid devotional work in the temple for 17 years. Aside from local community, Jero Mangku Tokir also explained that anyone could pray in this sanctum. Even, drivers of tourist bus carrying foreign tourists would also stop to invoke Tirta. “Especially people who are in cuntaka (mourning period) and getting menstruation are not allowed to enter. When doing it by force, the bridge ‘dweller’ can get angry,” he concluded.

2018, Nusa Penida di Blow Up unjungan wisatawan ke Kabupaten Klungkung tahun ini ditarget meningkat ratusan ribu orang dibandingkan tahun 2017. Menindaklanjuti hal itu, Pemerintah Kabupaten (Pemkab) Klungkung pun berupaya memaksimalkan promosi, baik melalui event yang rutin terselenggara setiap tahun maupun media sosial. Kepala Dinas Pariwisata Klungkung I Nengah Sukasta, Kamis (4/1) menjelaskan pada 2017 jumlah kunjungan ditarget 333.000 ribu orang, baik domestik maupun asing. Meski saat itu situasi sempat tak menentu akibat erupsi Gunung Agung, capaiannya berhasil menyentuh 423.726 orang atau melampaui target. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, target pada 2018 dirancang naik yakni sebanyak 478.169 orang. “Penentuan target ini mengacu pada capaian 2017,” terangnya. Disampaikan lebih lanjut, untuk mencapai itu Pemkab sangat bergantung pada objek wisata di wilayah Nusa Penida. Guna mendukung hal tersebut, promosi terus digalakkan, baik melalui media sosial atau website maupun event Nusa Penida dan Semarapura Festival yang telah berlangsung beberapa kali dan tahun

ini tetap diagendakan. “Untuk promosi memang baru skala nasional. Tetapi untuk keluar, kami maksimalkan dengan website. Secara keseluruhan, anggaran hampir mencapai Rp 2 miliar. Ini sudah termasuk untuk festival,” sebutnya. Memaksimalkan penggarapan sektor pariwisata, termasuk menggenjot jumlah kunjungan, Bupati Klungkung I Nyoman Suwirta sempat melontarkan rencana untuk membentuk badan pengelola, baik untuk wilayah Nusa Penida maupun city tour. Menurutnya, hal tersebut juga akan mampu mempercepat penanganan persoalan-persoalan yang ada di lapangan. “Badan pengelola sedang dibuatkan. Nanti ini tinggal koordinasi saja dengan Pemkab terkait apa yang harus diperbuat. Jadi bisa bersaing dan lebih cepat mengambil keputusan. Dinas pariwisata tidak lagi sibuk mengelola,” ungkapnya. Sekretaris Komisi II DPRD Klungkung I Wayan Buda Parwata pun menyatakan meningkatkan kunjungan, Pemkab juga perlu mengambil langkah-langkah yang lebih inovatif. Tak kalah penting juga harus diimbangi peningkatan kualitas Sumber Daya Manusia.

Liaison shrine of Candi Narmada and Griya Anyar Tanah Kilap Temple is a shrine to invoke safety. f you are heading for Nusa Dua from Sanur, you will see the Hindu community in Bali saying prayers at roadside. It is precisely made on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai or about two hundred meters to the east of the Dewa Ruci Statue at the Kuta roundabout. Near the sturdy bridge over the Badung River lies penyawangan (a liaison shrine) of Ida Ratu Niang Sakti abiding in Candi Narmada Temple and the Griya Anyar Tanah Kilap Temple. Well, for communities who cannot pray directly to Candi Nar-

mada and Griya Anyar Tanah Kilap, they can perform a simple worship in the bamboo shrines. “The shrine is stuck in the sacred banyan tree. No one would dare to harm it,” said Jero Mangku Tokir, pengayah (an assistant of the temple). Jro Mangku Tokir said the Candi Narmada and Griya Anyar Tanah Kilap were equally functioned to venerate Ratu Niang Sakti. Each was located opposite another (Candi Narmada is in charge of guarding the south, while Griya Anyar keeps the north. When people wanted to in-

Everyone passing in the area would definitely be horning. Behind the magical aura, this place was also known hieratic and haunted. “Penyawangan Ratu Niang Sakti niki mula kramat lan tenget krana nampek teken kereteg (This liaison shrine of Ratu Niang Sakti is indeed hieratic, let alone be adjacent to the bridge),” he said. According to Jero Mangku Tokir, the large bridge with a view of the Badung River reservoir retained a tragic incident. Before the bridge was built, exactly in the massacre on September 30 Movement (G30 S PKI), it was a wilderness area. Many dead bodies were lying there and they were not buried. Even, they were neglected so their bodies were rotting on the ground. Probably, such incident caused the bridge to be haunted and inhabited by spirits. “Many people have seen the spirits here. Her face was beautiful and the sighting was supposedly named Regek Tugek (beautiful girl with perforated back). However, it can only
