Abstract
Pucak Panulisan Temple which is located at Sukawana Village, Kintamani District, stored various ancient cultural heritages. Among these are Pucak Panulisan Temple, known as the cosmological center of the Gebog Domas of the Bali Mūla (indigenous Balinese) community in Kintamani. This research aims to reveal the history of the Gebog Domas of the Bali Mūla community and the cosmological meaning of the Gebog Domas of the Bali Mula community.The study was conducted through data collection with observation techniques, in-depth interviews and literature studies. The collected data were analyzed descriptive-qualitatively with the Ethnoarchaeology and Cultural Semiotical approaches. The study showed the following results. During in the Ancient Balinese Period (IX-XIV centuries AD), the Pucak Panulisan site was also functioned as a state temple in mountain (uranisch) when the kuta rajya (royal city) was centered in Pejeng-Bedulu-Gianyar. Cultural-Semiotically, the concept of Gebog Domas means: balance and harmony between microcosm-macrocosm, social integrity, order and peace of life, fertility (productivity), prosperity (jagadhita) in sustainable life. Now in the Postmodern era, the cultural wisdom embodied in the Gebog Domas cosmology is a challenge for local community (Bali-Mūla) to preserve and implement in real life.
