Abstract:
The Siat Sampian ceremony at Samuan Tiga Temple is one of the important rituals in the Hindu tradition in Bali which involves various ritualistic and social elements. In carrying out this ceremony, the roles of permas (female servants) and parekan (male servants) have a significant contribution to the smoothness and success of the ceremony. They engage in a ritual process of purification, which reflects grace and obedience in carrying out traditions. On the other hand, permas and parekan play a key role in tasks related to ceremonial processions. The collaboration between permas and parekan in the Siat Sampian ceremony not only shows the balance between feminine and masculine elements, but also emphasizes the importance of each role in maintaining the integrity and purity of the ritual. This research aims to explore the contribution of each role in the Siat Sampian ceremony, as well as to understand the dynamics of cooperation between permas and parekan in the spiritual and social context at Samuan Tiga Temple.
