Talking about Chinese New Year, many interesting things take center stage. Among them is of course the Barongsai tradition. Barongsai is a traditional Chinese dance using a sarong that resembles a lion. The lion dance has a history of thousands of years. The first time this dance was held was in the third century BC, during the Chin Dynasty.
In the past Lion Dancers had to be invited in from neighboring countries; now Indonesia should be proud, because it has Liong Dragon and Lion Dance craftsmen who are already famed worldwide. A great figure is Lilik Hambali, a Lion Dance and Liong Dragon craftsman in the Chinatown area, Jalan Suryakencana, Bogor City, West Java.
Starting a business in the year 2000, the workshop turns out products not only reaching from Sabang to Merauke but also succeeding in going international, to markets such as Germany and Saudi Arabia. Lilik, who now serves as deputy chairman of the Barongsai Art Group (GKB) in Bogor City, admitted that he studied the making of Lion Dance and Liong Dragons by himself. Starting as a Liong player, Lilik then tried to repair the old Liong Dragon that belonged to a Chinese descent in Suryakencana.
Now he sells a set of Barongsai for IDR 5 million, while the Liong Dragon goes for around IDR 7.5 million. In normal times, Lilik can sell up to 100 sets a year. However, he admitted that during the ongoing pandemic, his turnover had dropped dramatically, by 50%.
Now, in addition to being a Barongsai and Liong Dragon craftsman, Lilik is also a trainer in the Liong Dragon Dance and has won 4th place in the world competition in Surabaya

Dalam upaya pencarian Sriwijaya Air SJ-182, TNI AL dilaporkan mengerahkan beberapa KRI salah satunya KRI Rigel 933. KRI Rigel 933 merupakan Kapal Bantu Hidro-Oseanografi (BHO) terbaru milik TNI AL yang dibuat di galangan OCEA, Les Sables-d’Olonne, Prancis. KRI ini tercatat menjadi kapal perang tercanggih se-Asia yang dibangun di Prancis.

KRI Rigel 933 memiliki catatan yang cemerlang dalam membantu TNI AL melakukan tugas serupa seperti saat ini. Diketahui, KRI Rigel-933 pernah sukses membantu evakuasi pencarian kotak hitam pesawat Lion Air JT 610 yang jatuh di perairan Karawang pada 2018 lalu.

Witnessing Melukat on the “Island of the Gods”
Text/Photo: Rayi Gigih Priyadi

Bali is the belle of tourism in Indonesia, a destination well-known throughout the world. The island covering an area of 5,636.66 square kilometers has amazing natural beauty, especially the beauty of the beaches. Apart from its natural beauty, Bali is also famous for its unique arts and culture.
One aspect that is unique and may attract a lot of attention from tourists is "Melukat". This is a way of cleansing the soul and body for Hindus: it can be done by bathing on the beach or in a shower to clean yourself so that the body is healthier and exudes a positive aura. This ceremony is performed from generation to generation by Hindus, until the present. The tradition is carried out at Tirtha Empul Temple, Tampaksiring, Bali. Melukat comes from the word "sulukat", namely "su" which means good, and "lukat" which means purification.
The Melukat ceremony is led by a priest. Offerings such as prascita and bayuan are prepared by casting mantras. The person who will take part in the ceremony will be blessed first with certain mantras. Afterward, the person is doused with coconut water, after which the ritual is continued with bathing in a lake, river, sea, or sacred place which is believed to bring blessings. This ceremony is performed on the full moon and tilem (new moon) every month.
After bathing, the ritual is continued by making offerings. The ceremonial paraphernalia consists of extracts of fragrant incense, offerings, and holy water. Generally, Hindus pray for the first time to Lord Surya, then continue with the gods in the temple, such as Indra, and to the deities from all over the cardinal points.
Pura Tirtha Empul itself has 14 showers with magical powers, consisting of 3 pools, and is believed by Hindus to be a place to clean themselves, get rid of bad luck, and ask for health and blessings. Pura Tirta Empul means Pura (holy place) Tirtha (holy water) Empul (bubble spring) was built in the 11th century.
