ABSTRACT
This paper aims to find out the ritual of "Nyomye Bhuta Kala" about the purification of the surrounding natural environment to reduce and prevent the occurrence of epidemics or diseases caused by scale/Niskala. This belief is thought to have existed since the time of the ancient Balinese kingdom and until now it still exists, expressed in various traditions according to the knowledge of "desa Kala Patra" or in Balinese terms "manut ring dresta". The problems raised in this paper include the following. 1). What are the forms of Nyomye Kala related to environmental purification to prevent epidemics in the life beliefs of the Balinese Hindu Community; 2) What is the meaning expressed in the "Nyomye Bhuta Kala" ritual related to environmental purification to prevent outbreaks of beliefs in the life of the Balinese Hindu community. This study uses the triangulation method: observation, interviews, and documentation. While the analysis technique is descriptive and interpretive. To dissect the problem using cultural theory, namely interpretative symbolic theory and magical theory. The results in this paper are the Balinese people, especially the Balinese Hindus, have a belief in the existence of epidemics or diseases caused by Niskala factors, namely situations where the natural environment is disharmony due to astrological shifts and pollution (leteh) caused by human actions that inhabit the natural environment itself. A polluted environment (leteh) has the potential to cause disease (dry) or epidemics and can hurt the human environmental ecosystem in it. The forces of natural energy in Balinese astrological shifts cause friction which also requires an adaptation process at each time phase (Kala). Another factor in the emergence of epidemics is human activity, which results in disasters (reinforcements) and harms humans and the environment in the end. Anticipation and prevention as well as practices in efforts to prevent disasters or disease outbreaks in Balinese Hindu beliefs, namely by carrying out the Nyomye Bhuta Kala ritual.
