Campuhan River and Bolong Bunut Tree


Currently Gandi is going to Wong Samar Kingdom, while Gayatri is helping her mother make canang.


" Mommy, yesterday Grandpa Surya called me and wanted to take me to the Campuhan River. Where is the Campuhan River ? " ask Gayatri while helping her mother.


"Campuhan Pakerisan River is located in Tampaksiring, Gianyar. Campuhan River is a river in Bali that has two different estuaries that blend into a river flow. This river holds a lot of mystery, in the middle must be the flow of the river that fused it, there is a source of warm water that is said to cure various diseases,"



" Why is his name so strange ? "


" Campuhan means mixed. Because two large rivers, the flow of Tukad Pakerisan from the left and Tukad petanu from the right, converge right in this place. And in the midst of the union of the two great streams there was a rumble and a small spring. It's called Campuhan. Well, near this Campuhan then in the building of the temple. It is said that in the river Campuhan is Ida Ratu Panglingsir escorted by a White Crocodile and Dragon. The two magical guards are sometimes seen swimming between two streams. This strange incident has been seen by the person in charge and Pengempon Pura Campuhan, Pawitren Good Idea. Long ago when you went there once saw a White Crocodile and a Dragon passing by the river. Naturally this place functioned as a place of nganyutin. Crocodiles and dragons are also symbols of the spirit of the atman to nirvana. According to Ida Bagus Pawitren, the supernatural figure asked to be made a shelter in a large banyan tree in front of the Campuhan temple."


" Well, what's now been made pelinggih ? " tanya Gayatri while looking at her mother.


"certainly already. In the middle of the river was a statue of Shiva sitting on a stone,"


" Why is there a statue of Shiva, Bu ? "asked Gayatri while raising her eyebrows.


" This place is actually a Mala melting pot project. All fatigue, misfortune, suffering, will drift along with the flow of water. A pawisik (magic whisper) says that Lord Shiva who hangs there is as a melting pot of mala. Therefore, make a stanana in the middle of the river. Ida Bhatara Panglingsir who lives in Pura Campuhan is very loving. Many people from various corners who come not only to melukat, but also with various requests. Some came to beg for descendants and finally materialized. There are also those who come to ask for healing from various diseases to even mental disorders.


And they managed to recover," said Luh Ani


" I can't wait to get there, Mom ."


"Then it's better that Gayatri come with Grandpa and go there" his mother suggested, staring intensely at his daughter's face.


" Yes, Bu. " Sahut Gayatri while wrapping a canang that will be carried by his Father.


They sent the canang up to Grandpa Surya's house. And the one in charge of sending there is Wayan Rasta . If Wayan Rasta is busy then he will have Gayatri bring the canang-canang there.



" Who said that to Rara ? " ask his mother with a curious face.


" My friend said that, Mom. They said that the place was very scary" said Rara


" Olong Bunut Bolong Tree is located in Manggisari Village, Pekutatan District, Jembrana Regency . This hundreds of years old Bunut tree grows in the middle of the highway and the roots form a passageway that is approximately five meters in diameter that connects the two sides of the highway. Despite its uniqueness, this sacred old tree was shrouded in a powerful mystical aura. Based on the story of the village elders, long before the formation of Manggisari Village, Bunut bolong area which is a dense forest is known as one of the areas that is very magical aura. People used to get deadly diseases. The village leader then meditated and got a hint that the residents moved and settled south of the Bunut tree. Until now the magical aura of the Bunut Bolong area has not disappeared until now. Residents believe for a new bride in forbidden to pass in the hallway Bunut bolong. If the ban is violated then the newlywed couple will experience events beyond reason. Starting from having an accident, not having children to divorce. Because of the abstinence, the government and surrounding residents built prohibition signs and alternative roads next to trees for the bride and groom and entourage of corpse carriers who passed in the area. In addition, in recent years there have also been accidents of workers who plan to cut down this tree. They said they experienced many mystical events when trying to cut down trees and tidy up tree branches. There were even workers who fell and died. Bunut bolong is believed to be a resident of Manggisari village, inhabited by two figures in the form of dragons and tigers who occasionally appear. So right in front of this tree built a pelinggih with a statue of a tiger and a dragon that is the guardian of this tree." Luh Ani explained.


" I think there are many ghosts there," muttered Rara who immediately left Gayatri and her mother.


Not long ago Wayan Rasta came to visit Gayatri and his wife.


" How ? Has anyone finished the plan ? If you want to take you there now," said Wayan Rasta while looking at the canang that has been completed.


" It's really , sir," said Gayatri while sewing canang in a hurry.

The Wong Samar Kingdom .


The people of Wong Samar were protesting in front of the Wong Samar Kingdom. Gandi and Lio who had just come looked so surprised at all that. They both peeked out of the window . Gandi wanted to go out and help his father, but Lio held him back because it was so happy.


" King , please tell Gandi to come home. If he doesn't want to come back here then Gandi's death sentence is in front of us. If Gandi is married to a human race, then he must bring his wife here. Gandi was married according to the custom here and according to the custom in the human world, but he instead lived in the human world. Though from the beginning there was no nation of Samar Wong who lived in the human world and left the nation of Samar Wong. Only Gandi is like that now" explained one of Wong Samar's people who are very old.


" Right King. We used to go to the human world often and sometimes there are people who impregnate a human but we are never bound to a wedding. And we also never leave our nation like Gandi . But you used to be angry and forbid us to go to the human world . Even you yourself made that rule in the Wong Samar Kingdom . But the rule you made has been broken by your own son" they shouted with angry faces


" Look down, I'll sort this out as soon as I can. I will discuss this matter with Gandi" said King Wong Samar calmly.
