Balinese White Udeng Headdress
Background: Balinese men wear a headdress called an ‘udeng’ or ‘destar’, which is symbolic of the Balinese ‘Ulu Candra’, which are signs meaning the Hindu Trinity. The front wing-like vertical appendage symbolises Siwa. It is also a symbol for the male lingga. The lingga is itself symbolic of Siwa. The circular base symbolises Wisnu and the part wrapped around the head, which is like a half-moon or sun, symbolises Brahma. The whole thing may also be a symbolic ‘yoni’ or ‘female principle’, since Brahma is the creator of life.
