All the Villagers “Megibung” in Usaba Muhu-muhu

cow is tied to a concrete pole and is pacified with the indangi procession. However when slaughtered the cow thrashes about makign everyine a little tense. This procession is however safer than a similar ritual known as usaba kaulu that takes place at Asak village, where the cow is released into the village. The beast is then attacked with swords, machetes and other sharp weapons. Usaba Kaulu will be

held on Wednesday (Feb. 1). Sources in the village say that the usaba muhumuhu tradition is considered as the application of the Shiva Purana scripture, in which Dewi Dhurgha goes up against the demon Mahisasura in the form of cow or buffalo. In recent times, this ritual is commemorated as a moment to conduct introspection, exercise self-control and to avoide letting ones animal nature take over. (BTN/kmb)

ONGOING EVENTS

Kuta Berbenah Soal Parkir iapa yang tidak tahu Kuta? Rasanya hampir semua wisatawan yang datang ke Bali ingin menjejakkan kakinya di Kuta. Kawasan pantai ini begitu terkenal. Memang indah memesona. Namun, di bali semua itu, Kuta juga ‘’terkenal’’ karena parkirnya yang amburadul. Di tengah gencarnya penataan lalu lintas di kawasan Kuta, permasalahan parkir sembarangan masih belum tertangani. Guna menangani masalah tersebut, Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja (Satpol- PP) Kabupaten Badung Regu Kuta mulai mengintensifkan penertiban pelanggar parkir. Bahkan beberapa waktu lalu, penertiban di Jalan Kediri dilakukan dengan tindakan penggembosan ban kendaraan yang melanggar. Pada lokasi itu, ada sekitar 25 kendaraan ditemukan parkir menggunakan trotoar. Kendaraan itu meliputi sepeda motor dan mobil. “Kami sudah tunggu beberapa saat, tapi pemiliknya tidak datang juga. Setelah kami gembosi, barulah mereka kaget dan berjanji tidak akan mengulanginya,” ujar Komandan Regu Nengah Wika, Senin (20/2) . Wika menegaskan, menggunakan areal trotoar sebagai tempat parkir merupakan pelanggaran, karena trotoar merupakan fasilitas umum yang disediakan untuk para pejalan kaki. “Trotoar itu untuk pejalan kaki, bukan tempat parkir,” tegasnya. Langkah penertiban semacam itu, kata Wika dipastikan akan dilaksanakan secara berkelanjutan. Bahkan, ketika pelanggaran kembali ditemukan, maka pihaknya tidak akan segan-segan untuk melakukan tindakan. “Kami harap semua pihak bisa menaati aturan yang berlaku,” ujarnya. Ketua Lembaga Pemberdayaan Masyarakat (LPM) Kuta Agung Gede Agung mengakui, saat ini masih banyak terjadi pelanggaran parkir. Untuk itu, LPM Kuta akan terus melakukan penataan sesuai

S

dengan zona-zona parkir yang sudah ditentukan. Badan jalan yang digunakan parkir saat ini akan dikurangi dan ditata. “Penataan kantong parkir ini merujuk dari perjanjian kerja sama antara Pemkab Badung dengan LPM Kelurahan Kuta melalui surat bernomor 050/5431/ HUBKOMINFO, 120/LPM-KUTA/XII/2015 tentang Pengelolaan Tempat Parkir di Tepi Jalan Umum,” katanya. Dengan adanya perjanjian kerja sama tersebut, kata Agung LPM Kuta sudah mulai melakukan pendataan lokasi parkir untuk penataan parkir yang semrawut. Dengan kesepakatan tersebut, memang akan ada jalur yang steril dari parkir. Hal tersebut dilakukan kalau memang di kawasan terasebut tidak ditetapkan sebagai zona parkir. Dari pendataan yang dilakukan sebelumnya, sudah ditetapkan tujuh titik zona parkir di kawasan Kuta. Yakni, di Jalan Pantai Kuta, Jalan Legian, Kuta Square, Jalan Blambangan, Jalan Slamet, Jalan Raya Kuta dan Jalan Kendedes. “Zona parkir yang sudah ada saat ini tetap akan digunakan tempat parkir, namun akan ditata ulang kemiringan parkirnya,” ujar Agung. Melihat dari kondisi dan situasi, kata Agung, kantong parkir bisa saja akan ditambah. Apabila memungkinkan, penambahan zona parkir akan diterapkan di Jalan Kediri. “Kalau memang di kawasan tersebut layak, kami dari LPM akan mengusulkan,” paparnya. Agung juga mengimbau para pengusaha agar menyediakan kantong parkir dan tidak boleh menggunakan badan jalan untuk parkir. Itu sudah kewajiban bagi pengusaha agar menyediakan lahan parkir untuk konsumennya. “Kami akan melakukan koordinasi dengan pihak kepolisian dan Dishub. Apabila setelah ketentuan itu diberlakukan masih ada yang melanggar parkir, maka akan langsung ditilang,” tegasnya. (BTN/kmb)

Prior to the implementation of the shared meal, female villagers give pajegan offerings and pray together in the temple. here is a unique moment that only occurs once a year in Timbrah customary village, Karangasem, it is known by the inhabitants of this old village as usaba muhu-muhu. This caru ritual brings everyone together with the sharing of a meal known as megibung. This unique tradition involves setting up more than 100 portions of food for everyone in the village to partake in. This year, the unique event took place on Friday (Jan. 27). Before the sacred meal, people from four of the villages hamlets had been busy since morning preparing and processing a wide range of spices. Every hamlet has its respective duties including processing seasonings, grating coconut, preparing caru oblations, and slicing and grilling beef. Completing the caru oblations paraphernalia for the caru and other ceremonial needs is done by the undagi group. Throughout the day,

the community of four hamlets and two sesabu hamlets are busy with the preparations before the implementation of the joint prayers at the main Dalem Temple. Chief of Timbrah customary village, Wayan Sukerta, said that prior to the implementation of the shared meal, female villagers give pajegan offerings and pray together in the temple. Meawhile the male villagers carry drinking water from their homes for the shared meal. “This tradition has been ongoing for generations and is a way to foster a sense of togetherness”, said Sukerta. This year however there was a slight change to the way the meal took olace. Whereas in previsou years, the shared meal took lace in four separate pavillions ( the meeting pavilion, the gamelan troue pavilion, the long pavilion and the studio pavilion, this year everyone was gathered together in the wantilan hall of the customary

youth club. These shared meals are processed from the leftover meat from the caru oblations. This event is eagerly awaited by local residents who still live in the village and those who have moved away bt come back especially so they can share a meal with their kinfolk. More than 100 portions of this shared meal are prepared by residents serving as saya and malun saya in cooperation with the village apparatus. Each gibungan or portion of this shared meals is eaten by six to eight people. “We all eat together after praying together in the central Dalem Temple” said Sukerta. What about residents who abstain from consuming beef? This is likelyhood is anticipated and so six portions of chicken gibungan are also prepared. “Everyone is expected to enjoy the food offerings called ngelungsur that have been presented. So chicken gibungan is also prepared”, he said. The usaba muhu-muhu ritual is done as a form of village wide caru in order to transform bhuta kala into bhuta hita so that local residents can always live in harmony with the universe. This traditional event starts with the nyaga ritual. Three days before the usaba-muhu muhu, residents carry out this ritual to transform bhuta kala at a smaller level, so athat people’S courtyards will not be distrurbed. This ritual is also called metuun buah. During the usaba muhu-muhu, a nyomia ritual is performed at a higher level by the customary village using caru oblation made of buffalo as the sacrificial animal. The Undagi procession that involves the slaughering of a cow for the caru, always draws great attention from surrounding residents. The
