A statue of Ganesha standing upright perfectly in the village of Karangkates
This rare standing statue of Ganesha is estimated to have been made during the Singasari Kingdom (1222-1292) as a symbol of the power to ward off disasters in the area where the Brantas and Lahor Rivers meet
that's how Ganesha is portrayed as the main pantheon in Hindu religious rituals
The discovery of Ganesha statues or puppets in Java and Bali
It shows that Ganesha is still being revered in the whirlwind of religious dogma while providing opportunities for liberating artistic expression
Ganesa ultimately provides a comprehensive view of life that does not entangle
although it may provide doctrines that are potentially rigid and dogmatic
artistic expression breaks free from this stiffness and liberates
Ganesa became one of the important topics discussed in the 12th Borobudur Writers and Cultural Festival (BWCF) in Malang
This is the first time the BWCF agenda has been taken outside the Borobudur Temple compound in Magelang
On the courtyard of the Lecture Building of Universitas Negeri Malang
where the main agenda of BWCF will take place from 23rd to 27th November 2023
Yudit Perdananto (46) displayed a special collection of ancient puppet figures with the character of Ganesha
there are many others who exhibit their other products

a civil servant at the Tax Office of the East Java Provincial Government
is known as one of the collectors of unique Javanese-style leather puppets
she has been buying leather puppets from various regions in East Java
especially the ancient ones that are rarely used anymore
A set of wayang kulit typically contains hundreds of characters arranged in a wooden box
there is usually one character of Ganesha or a human-like puppet with an elephant head
Yudit displays 10 antique Ganesha shadow puppets that are hundreds of years old
"Different forms of Ganesha like these are possible when the production of puppets becomes more widespread
There are puppets that may have been initially made for the palace environment
then developed outside the palace to the village level
resulting in changes in the shape of puppets such as Ganesha's character," said Yudit on Sunday (26/11/2023)
The shadow puppet story of Ganesa is apparently very different from the Hindu temple pantheon which originated from India
Yudit explains by quoting the Smaradhana kakawin by Mpu Darmadja
it is told that Ganesa was born earlier than his mother Dewi Parwati when she was old and experienced contractions upon seeing the elephant ridden by Batara Indra
who is known as the god Shiva in the Hindu realm of India
The Wayang Kulit (shadow puppet show) with Ganesh as one of its characters from the private collection of Yudit Perdananto was also exhibited during the 12th Borobudur Writers and Cultural Festival (BWCF) at the State University of Malang
Ganesh is one of the main topics of discussion in the BWCF which
was held outside the area of Borobudur Temple in Magelang
The baby born to Dewi Parwati has finally become a chubby child with an elephant head
the destruction of the Surati Kingdom led by Prabu Ajisaka had occurred
The Kingdom was devastated by an attack from Prabu Nilarudraka
Sanghyang Padawenang predicted that the offspring of Dewi Parwati would defeat Prabu Nilarudraka
It was Dewi Parwati's son in the form of a human with an elephant head
"This is where the Javanese shadow puppet world portrays Ganesha as Batara Ganapati
symbolizing wisdom and serving as a problem solver," said Yudit
Ganesha in the form of Batara Ganapati has its own story
This is where the Javanese wayang kulit tradition as an art form successfully breaks the dogmatic narrative of Ganesha
Ganesha is one of the main pantheons alongside Durga (Goddess Parvati) and Agastya
Ganesha can also be found as a separate individual statue in a temple
the form and name of Ganesha can be found in a variety of forms
who is scattered in many places and has many names
also known as Vighnesvara as the controller of obstacles
Gajanana as the character with an elephant face
Lambkarna as the character with wide ears like an elephant
Lambodara as the person with a large belly
or Ekadanta as the human with a single ivory tusk
Ganesha is understood as the god of knowledge and also as the god of warriors who can solve problems and overcome any obstacles or hindrances
It is not impossible for everyone to desire Ganesha with his various abilities
so it is very likely that the presence of Ganesha statues in his time was widespread in many places
especially in central and eastern Java and Bali
once noted that the ratio of the number of discoveries of statues of Ganesha
This means that every 22 discoveries of Ganesha statues were accompanied by five discoveries of Durga statues and two discoveries of Agastya statues
The discoveries of Ganesha statues are far more abundant compared to other statues that are also part of the main pantheon of Hindu temples
The Ganesha statue is located at the Archaeology Park of the National Museum in Central Jakarta
emphasizes the important value of Ganesha as a manifestation of diversity in harmony
while showcasing local creativity expressed freely
this article also discusses the issue of Shiva-Buddha
understanding the identity of Indonesia can be achieved by understanding Ganesha and Shiva-Buddha
"This year's BWCF is intentionally held in Malang as an effort to approach the understanding of Ganesha and Siwa-Buddha
as well as to pay tribute to the passing of Ganesha thinker from Malang
Edi Sedyawati is known as a former Director General of Culture at the Ministry of Education and Culture (1993-1998)
Edi has a dissertation entitled "The Art Historical Review of Ganesa's Role during the Kadiri and Singhasari Periods"
He studied 169 Ganesha statues and described the details of those statues
One of his conclusions is that Ganesha statues from the Singasari period have solid characteristics with four arms

Then Ganesa's plump legs stepped on a skull
His wide ears were adorned with skull earrings
These skull accessories stood out as Ganesa's signature during the Singasari period
The number of Ganesa statues from Kediri is much smaller compared to those from Singasari
The Ganesha statue is not always associated with the Singasari period
discovered a Ganesha statue made of a fairly large stone and has an unusual iconography
"Ganesa is a topic of discussion that is still alive and continuing to evolve
Including the issue of its repatriation from Europe or America
along with other historically valuable artifacts
is currently of utmost importance," said Seno Joko
Seno Joko has placed an unusual image of the Lord Ganesha statue as the icon for this year's BWCF
The statue was taken from the original statue still located in the region of Karangkates Village
The statue was discovered during the construction of the Sutami Dam in Karangkates
which is approximately 30 kilometers from the city of Malang
Kompas took the time to visit the Ganesha statue in Karangkates
The trip to Karangkates from Malang City takes the direction of Kepanjen
it is not difficult to find the location of the Ganesha statue
The presence of the Ganesha statue is well-known among the locals
They can easily point out the location of the statue
Several residents reveal myths about the statue
which is made from andesite stone and stands at a height of 202 centimeters
with a width of 154 centimeters and a thickness of 80 centimeters
there was an attempt to bring the Ganesha statue to the Singasari temple complex in Malang
The statue was transported by a carriage pulled by 44 cows and arrived in Singasari during the day
Locals revealed that there is a myth that the statue can "return" to Karangkates during the night
Please note that the forbidden words were not present in this article
Visiting the statue of Ganesa in Karangkates feels special
The statue of Ganesha stands tall and perfect in Karangkates
Many skull accessories adorn the Ganesha statue with a chubby child body and elephant-headed that is no longer cute
suggests that it is possible that Ganesa was made during the Singasari period
Placed in Karangkates as a warrior deity who was tasked with preventing floods and landslides in the Karangkates valley during that time
