ADDITIONAL NOTES

Sanghyang. A variety of sanghyang is the sanghyang deling found in Kintamani and other villages around the crater of the Batur. The girls are put into the trance by means of two dolls representing the deities, strung through their middles by a cord, the ends of which are attached to >hort sticks tensely held by two boys. The string with the dolls is thus held taut in front of the two kneeling girls, songs are chanted, and the boys go into trance; their arms become rigid and commence to shake, causing the dolls to dance back and forth across the cord. As the boys shake more and more violently, the vibration increases and the dolls leap, whirl, and clash against each other. The girls have become drowsy and suddenly faint, going into the trance to be dressed and dance as in the ordinary sanghyang.

Another variety is the sanghyang djaran, in which the temple priest, the pemangku, becomes himself the sanghyang, possessed by an ancestral deity, a Gandarwa on horseback. We saw a pemangku in Bedulu go into the trance with two boys, his assistants, each riding on small prop horses and dancing in and out of a great blazing pile of burning coconut shells. The sanghyang djaran is reminiscent of a trance performance from Central Java called kuda kepang - men wearing dark glasses and riding on beautifully stylized horses woven out of bamboo.
