The Meaning of The Statue - Bali For fist time visitor to Bali, there are many questions they ask such as; “why is the statue dressed” and “is what offerings are given, should they be flower or fruit?”. Throughout Bali Island there are many dressed statues. The colors of material may differ from one statue to another, according to the character of the statue. The statue as shown on the picture is the statue symbolizing a Hindu Priest. It is dressed in black and white, white being the symbols of holiness and black being the symbol to preserve holiness. It is appropriate for a priest who always prays to create and preserve holiness toward the dynamic of the Universe and all that is in it. The prayers are accompanied by bell ringing serenely , so that what hope is for will materialize accordingly. People passing by the statue feel secure and protected by the miracles of the statue symbolizing a priest, and arrive safely at their destination. It is natural that the Hindu people treat this statue as a human being and frequently provide offering. However, the offerings are not merely directed towards the statue but mainly to the powers of the highest dwelling in the statue, namely God. Dressing the statue is not merely to preserve it, but to support the religious philosophy called “Sarwam Khalu idham Brahman” meaning “All that there is in this world is Brahman/God” or “ All this in this world are owned by God”. A high religious emotion amongst the Hindu congregation in Bali makes them regard everything in this world like a human being. This is believed to be the only way to preserve the Universe. Because the belief in the existence of God (which may come in any form) is so strong, even a statue is given great attention; if the dress is torn it is changed and offering are given. The behavior of Hindu people contains elements of high social value. Because they always behave in accordance with the character of man (namely: this life is for work) one of the elements is to give offerings to the statues symbolizing a Hindu Priest. Therefore they pray to God to always create and preserve the Universe and all that there is in it.
