Barong is a lion-like creature and character in the mythology of Bali, Indonesia. He is the king of the spirits, leader of the hosts of good, and enemy of Rangda, the demon queen and mother of all spirit guarders in the mythological traditions of Bali. The battle between Barong and Rangda is featured in Barong dance to represent the eternal battle between good and evil.
Barong animal mask dance, together with sanghyang dance are considered native Balinese dances, predating Hindu influences. The native Indonesians of Austronesian heritage often has similar mask dances that represent either ancestral or natural spirits; an example is Dayak's Hudoq dance. The term barong derives from the local term bahruang, which today corresponds to Indonesian word beruang which means "bear". It refers to a good spirit, that took the form of an animal as the guardian of forest.
In Balinese mythology, the good spirit is identified as Banas Pati Raja. Banas Pati Raja is the fourth "brother" or spirit child that accompanies a child throughout their life, which is a similar concept to guardian angels. Banas Pati Raja is the spirit which animates Barong. A protector spirit, he is often represented as a lion. The Barong is often portrayed accompanied by two monkeys.
Barong is portrayed as a lion with red head, covered in white thick fur, and wearing gilded jewelry adorned with pieces of mirrors. The shape of lion Barong is somewhat similar to a Pekingese dog. The origins of the Barong are far a back in time and quite uncertain. Its origins could be from animist worship, before Hinduism appeared, when villagers still believed in the supernatural protective power of animals.
CALON ARANG
On the other hand, Rangda is Barong's opposite. While Barong represents good, Rangda represents evil. Rangda is known as a demon queen, the incarnation of Calon Arang, the legendary witch that wreaked havoc in ancient Java during the reign of Airlangga in the 10th century. It is said that Calon Arang was a widow, powerful in black magic, who often damaged farmer's crops and caused disease to come. She had a girl, named Ratna Manggali, who, though beautiful, could not get a husband because people were afraid of her mother. Because of the difficulties faced by her daughter, Calon Arang was angry and she intended to take revenge by kidnapping a young girl. She brought the girl to a temple to be sacrificed to the goddess Durga. The next day, a great flood engulfed the village and many people died. Disease also appeared.
King Airlangga, who had heard of this matter, then asked for his advisor, Empu Bharada, to deal with this problem. Empu Bharada then sent his disciple, Empu Bahula, to be married to Ratna. Both were married with a huge feast that lasted seven days and seven nights, and the situation returned to normal. Calon Arang had a book that contained magic incantations. One day, this book was found by Empu Bahula, who turned it over to Empu Bharada. As soon as Calon Arang knew that the book had been stolen, she became angry and decided to fight Empu Bharada. Without the help of Durga, Calon Arang was defeated. Since she was defeated, the village was safe from the threat of Calon Arang's black magic.
RANGDA
Another version holds that Rangda was actually linked to historical queen Mahendradatta or Gunapriyadharmapatni, a Javanese princess sister of Dharmawangsa of East Javanese Isyana Dynasty of late Medang Kingdom period. She was the queen consort of Balinese king Udayana and Airlangga's own mother. Mahendradatta is known for her devotion to the worship of Durga in Bali. The story goes that Mahendradatta, the mother of Airlangga, was condemned by Airlangga's father because she practiced black magic. After she became a widow (Rangda in old Javanese means: 'widow'), hurt and humiliated, she sought revenge upon her ex-husband's court and whole of his kingdom. She summoned all the evil spirits in the jungle, the leyaks and the demons that caused plague and death in the kingdom. Airlangga face his own mother to save the kingdom. A fight occurred, but she and her black magic troops were so powerful that Airlangga had to ask for the help of spirit king, Barong in order to defeat her. Barong came with Airlangga's soldiers, and the fight ensued. Rangda cast a spell that made Airlangga soldiers all want to kill themselves, pointing their poisoned keris into their own stomachs and chests. In response, Barong cast a spell which caused the soldiers body's to be resistant to the sharp keris. At the end, Barong won, and Rangda ran away.
BARONG DANCE
The lion is the popular one, as it comes from the Gianyar region, where Ubud (the home of tourist's Balinese dance ritual viewing) is located. Within the calon arang, the dance drama in which the Barong appears, the barong responds to Rangda's use of magic to control and kill her to restore balance. In traditional Barong dance performances, he is portrayed in his struggles against Rangda, it is the popular part of Balinese culture. The mythical creature would dance along the street to the calon arang dance. A priest would throw holy water at it.
- The dance opens with two playful monkeys teasing Barong in a peaceful environment.
- The next scene is popularly known as "Keris Dance". The Rangda character appears and wreaks havoc. She casts black magic upon male dancers, who represent Airlangga's soldiers, and orders them to commit suicide. In a trance, these men stab themselves on their chest with their own kris. Meanwhile, Barong and the priest cast protective magic on these men, which makes them invulnerable to sharp objects.
- The dance ends with the final battle between Barong and Rangda, concluding with the victory of Barong over Rangda. Rangda runs away, the evil is defeated, and the celestial order is restored.
The lion barong is one of five traditional Barongs. In Bali each region of the island has its own protective spirit for its forests and lands. Each Barong for each region is modeled after a different animal. They are:
- Barong Ket: lion barong, the most common Barong, it is the symbol of a good spirit.
- Barong Landung: giant barong, the form is similar to Betawi Ondel-ondel
- Barong Celeng: boar barong
- Barong Macan: tiger barong
- Barong Naga: dragon (or serpent) barong

Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Leytonstone, London here are the details of the project.
The Terrace House Garden in Leytonstone, London E11
BRIEF:
This plot was a long urban garden and was almost completely bare, but for two large, established trees. The client was attempting to construct a pond in the near right corner using green slate boulders as decoration, and requested that this should be included in the design.
The interior of the house had a modern, contemporary feel fused with Victorian architecture. As the patio doors lead directly from the kitchen/diner into the garden, the garden becomes very much an extension of the house – as such the style of the interiorwas of particular consideration in the design the exterior space.
SOLUTION:
The final design created a low maintenance garden with a simple and contemporary feel. The area directly behind the house was laid with decking, running half way down the left side of the space. New wooden fences, to replace the existing worn out wire fences, were erected down the right of the garden, onto which a selection of clematis and everlasting sweet peas were trained.
The main area of the garden consisted of a tapered, oval shaped lawn, encircled by a raised bed following the same shape as the lawn. A smaller, tapered oval raised bed in the middle of the lawn served to slightly mask the bottom of the garden, breaking up the space and helping to create a sense of intrigue.
The simplicity of the borders was echoed in the planting, which consisted of white flowers and green foliage. Cool, crisp and elegant, a white planting scheme provides an air of harmony and tranquillity, and is well suited to the style of the garden and the interior of the house. An area devoted to graceful architectural ferns helped to accentuate the simplicity
of the space and serves to provide a stunning and effective display throughout the year.
Re-designing the layout of the client’s existing pond, using state boulders together with a powerful pump to produce an effective waterfall, helped to create a striking water feature. The pond and surrounding area was given life with the addition of water lilies and other aquatic and semi-aquatic plants. A bowed Cedrus libani (ssp.atlantica) ‘Glauca’, trailing branches in the water, presented the final flourish to the space.
TESTIMONIAL:
“Katrina and her team worked extremely hard and long hours to complete the garden quickly and with minimum disruption to our home. Considering that we have no access other than through the entire house, there was almost no disruption to our lives.
Watching the garden grow from its original design and come to life was amazing. It exceeded our expectations completely, and the aftercare pack and service offered by Earth Designs was brilliant.
We have no hesitation in recommending Earth Designs to any of our friends, who have also been amazed with our fantastic new garden - of course we have been showing it off at every sunny opportunity. Thanks to Katrina and her team at Earth Designs for such a fantastic design, utilising the space brilliantly and creating an outside space that we are extremely proud of.”

Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Epping, Essex*. Here are the details of the project
The 'Water feature' Garden in Epping, Essex CM16
BRIEF:
This space was completely unusable as a result of a failed landscaping attempt by the previous occupants. Extensive ground work was necessary in order to level the space, including the redistribution of a very large mound of earth from the middle of the garden.
There was a summer house in the bottom right of the space, which was structurally sound but in need of cosmetic renovation - during construction it was decided that the building should be removed. The client's brief was fairly open and simple: to create a space for entertaining and social dining which compliments the decorative style of the house interior.
SOLUTION:
The design divides the garden into several distinct areas, helping to impart the illusion of space and create a sense of intrigue. The first area is open and floored with natural slate tile, multi hued with tones of dark and light grey and rust colours.
Leading from this area is a flush decking walkway, bridging a sunken black lined pool and flanked on both sides by railway sleeper raised beds mounted with gargoyle water spouts.
The sleeper beds continue down the space, flanking a large area of decking over which towers a bespoke wooden pergola, giving the space added height and a strong sense of drama. The pergola encloses a long, wide, heavy table and bench seating, constructed from sturdy sleepers to create an imposing focal point to the space. Overhead, a custom-made chandelier planted with ivy adds to the garden's medieval atmosphere.
A second decked walkway runs from the central decked area over a second sunken pool to a slate paved area at the bottom of the garden. The raised beds themselves are packed with evergreen shrubs and flowering perennials, with a dramatic and slightly gothic planting palette of black and white, softened with interspersed leafy greens.
TESTIMONIAL:
"We cannot recommend Earth designs highly enough. From the initial design phase through to building,planting and completion they have been excellent.
They have the knack of turning your ideas into reality with the minimum of fuss and disruption to your lives. We found the whole team led by Katrina and Matt to be friendly and helpful.
Most importantly of all, Earth designs managed to convert our jungle into a garden which we love and is the envy of our neighbours."

NEW YORK, 24 September 2014 - From Afghanistan’s Ministry of Public Health, Deputy Minister of Policy and Planning Ahmad Jan Naeem (centre image)spoke at this week’s United Nations General Assembly special session on the follow-up to the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) beyond 2014. Senior UN officials also spoke at the gathering, saying that the international community must renew its pledge to protect women and girls as it strives to improve the dignity of all people and secure the future of the planet.
The meeting on Monday marked 20 years since delegates at a landmark conference in Cairo embraced and reinforced the principle that people should be at the centre of development.
Also speaking at the opening of the session, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (right image) said he looked back with pride on the past 20 years, and looked forward to achieving greater progress for generations to come. In the past two decades, nearly one billion people have escaped poverty; maternal mortality has been reduced by almost 50 per cent, with more women choosing how many children they have and when.
“More laws allow a greater number of people to exercise the rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Charter,” Mr. Ban said.
