TRIANGGA .





   Tri angga means " three parts " which is high , middle , and low .

     The 3 parts can be represented in the human body , building structures , town planning and the environment . Tri angga are practice by Balinese . * for me triangga is the concept in life which can be practice in various of scope


  
 The Tri Angga of Bali as whole place are divided into :

  • The high - sacred mountains which form a ridge from east to west through the center of the island .
  • The middle - is where most of the Balinese live ( the land ) .
  • The low -  is the sea .

   Tri Angga also can be represent as :

  • UTAMA -Things that are high or above . ie - Mountains , heaven , ancestor , roof , head . * All that pure and sacred .
  •  MADYA - Middle ground ; ie : Body , the land where people lives  .
  • Nista - Things are low & below ; ie : sea , hell & the deads . * impure & profane .
     

    This concept are similar to Buddhist principles . This is because in Bali it is high influence from Buddhism .
