Lontar (Palm Leaf) - Bali Old Book Palm leaf plays an important role in the day life of Balinese people. Before the invention of writing a book, the Balinese used palm leaf as a medium to write a message. So if you need to get the information pertaining the religion and Balinese tradition, you must read more palm-leaf manuscripts. For instance, should you want to know about herbal medicine, you must read the lontar usada. Most of the time, such palm leaf is utilized for writing awig-awig (legislation of customary village). The tradition of lontar writing has been preserved because Balinese communities in the Desa Adat traditional village have to have a written awig-awig regulation to preserve peace and order in the village. The Law is promoted and inaugurated in a Pasupati Awig-Awig ritual, attended by all members of the Desa Adat and local officials, from regent to village chiefs and public figures.
In the line with the development of tourism in Bali, there has lately been a new-zest for writing of variety of stories complete with picture of their character panted on lontar leaves in the form of souvenir for tourist. One can dint lontar scripts showing tale of Ramayana, Mahabrata and Tantri Kamandaka on sale in art markets, art shops and at tourist attractions. Lontar manuscripts can be kept for two centuries on condition that they are treated and stored well. Old scripts are copied so that knowledge is not lost and can be passed down to further generation. The Bali people have managed to preserve this ancestral custom by writing and reading as well as singing on lontar leaf.

The Awig Awig village law appears during the ceremony placed on a jempana bearing, beautifully decorated, during the mass parade conducted by the baleganjur musical troupe. In this way, the village law is brought to public eyes. The Balinese tend to be more submissive to this rural regulation in comparison to the law applied by the higher authority of the Republic Indonesia. This is because the rule of awig-awig in punishing villagers is not only physical and material, termed in Balinese as sekala punishment, but also magical or niskala in the form of ritual and spiritual suffering as dictated by the law of Karma Phala.
