Details
Balinese, especially those who are Hindu believe that in the beginning there was only Antaboga in the world. Antaboga was a living snake. Antaboga meditated and created Bedwang, which was a turtle. Two snakes enthroned on the turtle along with black stone, which later became the roof of the underground world. This underground world is ruled by the goddess Setesuyara and the god Batara Kala, who created light and earth. On the earth stretches water. And above that stretch of water stretches the sky. Semara, who is the god of love lives in the sky. Above the sky lies a deep blue sky (sky), this is the residence of the sun and moon. On top of that lay heaven, which is full of flowers and here lives Tjak (a human-faced bird). Here also lives a snake named Taksaka and a group of snakes known as Clouds. They are sometimes seen as shooting stars. The ancestors lived in a paradise filled with fire over heaven. On top of that all are the abode of the gods.
