Therefore, not only a festive ritual, ceremony facility itself is always interesting to look at. Not only the shape but also multi-faceted color means the ceremony. One of the highlights of the ceremony were the means sacred snack.
Interestingly snack is sacred because of the bright colors, such as pink, yellow, orange, and so on. The shape is also unique. There is a similar dragon, tiger head, and others that tend to be somewhat surreal, but the form is not real clear. Since making a bit complicated, fewer snack sacred Balinese make it yourself. Some people, for reasons more practical, buy it from the pastor or TVC, where the pastor lived.
One of the places made holy snack in TVC Ida Resi Bujangga Wesnawa Ganda Kesuma Penatih area, East Denpasar.
Everyday three women were making pocket-pocket for this ceremony means. Ni Ketut Candri, 60, the oldest woman at work that afternoon. He worked with his son, Ni Wayan Metri, and other workers Ni Wayan Marni.
Making it as sacred snack cakes in general. Raw material rice flour. Once boiled so that the texture is similar to modeling clay, this material was given artificial coloring. "To be more bungah color (bright)," said Candri. He continued, as a means of ritual, the color should be bright jaja sacred, something that cheered me up.
"If natural coloring is not too bright," he added.
Once given color, similar to the material clay is then formed according to the desired shape. One form which made that afternoon was a similar palegembal crackers. Candri and son make a variety of shapes with their hands. Stir flour as raw noodles twisted lengthwise then cut and shaped as desired.
Pocket that is formed is then immediately fried without drying at all. Therefore it should not inflate like a fried crackers after drying first. The color is still bright. "Once fried, jajannya be preserved for days," said Marni a frying snacks served each day holy.
The process of manufacture of flour to the pan stirring sacred snack is not up to 30 minutes. Includes fast.
According Metri, sacred snack is one of the mandatory equipment for Hindus as religious ceremonies. Unlike gebogan, the means of the usual fruits carried on the head, which can not exist, then it should be no sacred snack when yadnya ceremony, whether it is to human yadnya, yadnya gods, and so on. "Snack yadnya sacred heart," added Metri.
As a ritual instruments, there are at least 21 types jaja this sacred in a ceremony. But, according to Metri, today most people (women) Bali could only make three kinds of holy jaja. Therefore, the sacred snack produced in Griya Ida Resi Bujangga Wesnawa Ganda Kesuma was selling.
They sell a package means the ceremony, including solar bridge, pejati, content caru, rice stakeholders, and others worth USD 4.5 million. The clientele is not just around Penatih but also to Kerobokan, Kuta, Legian, and others.
