The uniqueness of Pura Goa Giri Putri In Bali ( Golden Egg of Bali ) - there are many caves that function as places of worship. In one of the caves in Nusa Penida, there is Goa Giri Putri Temple. What uniqueness can be observed from the existence of the Kahyangan Jagat temple located in Karangsari Hamlet, Pakraman Suana Village, Nusa Penida District, Klungkung Regency?
It is said that in the Neolithic era humans lived without norms, without rules, until a normative homo-homini lupus pattern was applied - one human being a "wolf" for another human being, then the law of the jungle prevails, who is strong he wins. Everyone is trying to maintain life from natural violence, such as tantrums of wild animals, heavy rain, wind, and sunburn. Then they need a place of refuge and reproductive descent for survival. In addition to the use of caves like that, the cave is also said to be a sanctuary to ask for grace directly from the gods.
In caves there are generally streams, bats, snakes, and stalagnites (rock-like deposits grow from below the cave leading to the cave ceiling) and stalactites (deposits that resemble rocks, emerge from the walls / ceilings of the cave leading to the cave floor). In its development, humans think of new life patterns with permanent settlement patterns and increasingly sophisticated technological support in order to be able to realize a better life. Although life is increasingly modern, the reality shows that the prehistoric tradition or culture within the cave still exists with functions that continue to develop or change.
The word "giri" means mountain, mountain or hill, while "daughter" means woman. In the concept of Hinduism, the "daughter" in question is a symbolic name for the power of God, possessing motherhood or femininity. So Giri Putri Cave is a space or cavity of a certain size as a place to reside in the power of God in its manifestation in the form of a woman (called Hyang Giri Putri), nothing else is one of the magic of God's power in His form as Shiva. Here, Giri Putri is the name given to one of the largest caves on the island of Nusa Penida.
The three main temples are the destination
In Purnama Kalima Wraspati Kliwon Klawu, 25 October 2007, is the peak of the Great Works of Mamungkah Ngenteg Linggih, Mapeselang Prayungan, lan Pedanan-danan. Piodalan in the temple which is emponized by 210 KK Krama in Pakraman Karangsari Village is carried out every year, namely in Purnama Kadasa. If the Balinese people want to celebrate there, then the three main temples that become the destination are Pura Giri Putri, Pucak Mundi, and Dalem Ped. Usually they spend the night in Dalem Ped because the place is wider, bathing and defecating facilities are adequate. There are also many traders, and the air temperature is relatively not too cold.
Based on the measurement results of the Lecturer Service Team of Warmadewa University, August 2007, Goa Giri Putri is located at an altitude of 150 meters above sea level, with a total length of approximately 262 meters. It has four large parts of prayer space, namely an outside cave or entrance and three inside the cave (front, center and back). Before 1990, Goa Giri Putri was only a cave that was used as a local tourist attraction, especially on Galungan and Kuningan holidays. The water inside the cave is made into water by the Karangsari community in the framework of the Panca Yad ceremony.
Until now no inscriptions nor official sources have been found that contain the Giri Putri Cave, so it is not known when and by whom Goa Giri Putri was built. What is clear is that this cave is a relic of the prehistoric period (Hinduism), continues to live and be maintained until now. In 1990, the Governor of Bali at that time (Prof. Dr. Ida Bagus Mantra) had visited Nusa Penida and stopped at Goa Giri Putri, giving motivation to the community there to maintain the existence of Goa Giri Putri, both as a spiritual tourism object and as a place prayer. Since then a number of palinggih places of worship have been established. Goa was then given the name Goa Giri Putri.
The physical condition of Goa Giri Putri in the 1990s compared to current conditions, looks different. The cave was very "terrible", dark, slippery ground floor, abundant water, and not many visitors. Now, on the contrary, it is bright, the ground floor is not so slippery because some parts have been plastered, some water tanks have also been available. The cave entrance remains relatively narrow - only one person can enter.
"Niskala" clue
As written in the book "Brief Information on Pura Giri Putri" and told by I Nyoman Dunia as Indigenous Bendesa and big mangku Pura Giri Putri, there are 13 pieces of palinggih in total with various forms of architecture and building materials. If you want to pray to Pura Giri Putri, when you go down in the parking lot then cross the street, people are already facing the steps. After arriving at the top or in the courtyard outside the cave, people will find the first palinggih shaped Padmasari, right on the right side of the mouth of the cave.
Based on the niskala instructions received by Ida Pandita Dukuh Acarya Daksa from Samiaga Subdistrict, Coach, Denpasar said, in the first palinggih worshiped was the power of Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa in his form as the Hyang Tri Purusa according to the teachings of Shiva Sidhanta. Consisting of Paramasiwa (Nirguna-Brahman), Sadasiwa (Saguna-Brahman), and Siwatma (Jiwatman). Then to the left of the entrance to the cave there is the Hyang Ganapati in the form of Lingga Cala from the rock material as the entrance guard of the cave. On the front page of the cave is also equipped with supporting buildings as a place for escorting or receiving guests.
If after praying in the Tri Purusa palinggih, people can immediately enter Goa Giri Putri. Usually people who have just come to this place for the first time will feel afraid or anxious because the cave mouth is very small, only one person can pass. But it was only about three meters away, after passing that, people would be astonished and amazed, because they did not expect before that the cave cavity was very wide and tall and could accommodate around 5,000 people. When a small tunnel is passed, people will be able to see two palinggih inside the front of the cave.
The third Palinggih, Hyang Sapta Patala, is in the form of Padmasari with the embodiment of Naga Basuki in the ulon section. Hyang Naga Basuki is one of the manifestations of Hyang Widhi Wasa with a helper, savior and prosperity, manifested in a shiny golden scaly dragon, full of pearl trinkets, and always strives to maintain the balance of the underworld for the welfare of humans and other creatures. On the right side of Hyang Naga Basuki there is the fourth palinggih, Pengayengan Ratu Gede in the form of Lingga Cala. Thus this cave serves as a place to request the safety and peace of mankind.
Furthermore, in the middle of the cave found five palinggih - three below and two above. Palinggih in the lower part of the north is in the form of Padmasari, the station of Hyang Giri Pati / Siwa. To the left of Padmasari, there is a crowd of Ida Bhatara in the form of Gedongsari. Then in the lower part of the south there is a palukatan place from Hyang Dewi Gangga, and palinggih Hyang Tangkeb Langit on the west side of the staircase in the form of a massive gedong. Before making a prayer, this place is obliged to do the palukatan dasa mala by pleading with Hyang Giri Putri, Dewi Gangga, and Hyang Giri Pati so that both physically and mentally apart from negative things.
In the upper middle part a little to the edge there is palinggih Hyang Giri Putri tangible Padmasari with palinggih Pengaruman on the left side as a place to stain the god-goddess symbol in the form of statues and hair sedana, and on the right side there are holy water sources. What is unique is the existence of this palinggih in the middle of the cave wall, so that people can climb a steel ladder made of car plate material. On the inside with a distance of about seven meters, there is Payogan (compound) Hyang Giri Putri - Hyang Giri Pati in the form of Padmasari.
In this place people usually do meditation, yoga and meditation. The core part of the cave is surrounded by unique natural ornaments such as a water park, colorful cave walls (stalagnites and stalactites) interspersed with sparks of water from the cave ceiling and the sound of bats. This place is a place for Hyang Giri Putri to control the forces in the cave. This is where people can ask for healing from the disease through splashes of blood by stakeholders or pangelingsir.
Then there are four palinggih at the western end of the cave. An intangible Padmasari as a sthana of Shiva Shiva Amerta / Mahadewa, a Gedongsari sthana Hyang Sri Sedana / Ratu Syahbandar, a statue of Goddess Kwam Im, and the altar of Heavenly God. All of these are the Merciful, Loving and Merciful Gods and Goddesses of Prosperity. In this section pamedek can see clearly the rays of the sun and the beauty of the surrounding environment especially Mount Kila (Pura Semuhu) in the distance.
Now in this section there is already a supporting building (toilet), equipped with stairs as a means of going out for a cave. This section clearly shows that there is a combination of the concept of Shiva-Buda in Goa Giri Putri, as is the case in other major temples in Bali. Actually, in Giri Putri Cave there are still a lot of large and small rocks (Lingga Cala) and small caves left and right
