Karangasem
is a city which is located in east part of Bali. Actually, I have never know
about this city, but I feel lucky that when I was KKN (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) or
it can be said one of course in the university and I spend a couple of months
in this city. I feel so enthusiastic and grateful because to explore this city
is one of my dream. When I was lived in this city, I found a thing that become
the special characteristic of this city. It’s called “Megibung” in Balinese.
Balinese
culture is unique. One of the things that always attracts the attention of
tourists is the Megibung Tradition. This culture has become one of the traditions
that the Karangasem people continue to maintain. In fact, it has become one of
the popular cultural tours in Bali.
The
tradition of Megibung Karangasem can be interpreted as an activity carried out
by the community by gathering and sitting together and share the foods. Or it also can
called a tradition of eat together in one place which is always do by
the people in Karangasem, Bali.
In
this Megibung tradition there is no difference in social status or caste,
everyone mingles and eat together. Megibung is now often encountered during
processions of traditional and religious ceremonies in Karangasem. As in the
Dewa Yadnya Ceremony, the Pitra Yadnya Ceremony, the Bhuta Yadnya Ceremony, the
Rsi Yadnya Ceremony, the Manusa Yadnya Ceremony, the Tooth Cutting (Mesangih)
Ceremony, Marriage, and Ngaben.
Megibung
tradition contains a moral education, so that every element of society always
maintains togetherness and intimacy in the environment and enriches the culture
and customs of the nation.
