The post Wayang Kulit (Plain): Pancawala appeared first on Murni's in Bali.

Material: Buffalo hide, buffalo horn
Style: Java

Background: According to the Ramayana, Kausalya gave birth to two sons, Rama and Lesmono. Dasarata was their father.

Lesmono went with Rama and Sita into the forest. He was a determined celibate. Dasamuka’s younger sister, Sarpakenaka, fell in love with him but was rebuffed. She persisted and he cut off her nose and ears. She complained to her brother, who saw it as an opportunity to have revenge for the time Dasarata won over the two women he had been interested in.

He sent her husband, Maritja, to assume the form of a golden deer to tempt Sita away. Sita asked Rama to catch the deer. Marjita drew Rama deep into the forest. Sita was worried and sent Lesmono to find her husband, which he did although Rama had forbidden Lesmono to leave her.

Dasamuka appeared as an old ascetic and lured Sita out of the magic circle Rama had put her in. Dasamuka flew off with her to Langka. Rama declared war.

After the war Rama and Sita were reunited and returned to Ayodhya with Lesmono and Hanuman. Baroto, who had been regent, welcomed them back and Rama was crowned.

Background: Wayang Kulit performances are used for moral guidance. Yudistira is one character who is frequently invoked. He is the oldest of the 5 princely Pandawa brothers and is semi-divine. He is a model leader, never lying or showing anger. He rules his kingdom with perfect justice. He has no weapon, unlike the other heroes, but he does have the Kalimasada, which is a holy book containing the secrets of religion and the universe.

No showy ornaments, his aristocratic head gently inclined, he is the ideal Priest-King, but he does have a weakness for gambling. He loses his kingdom to his cousins in a game of dice.
