Batara Kala swallowing and then vomiting the Sun, issued by Indonesia on February 23, 2016 to publicize the total solar eclipse occurred in the country:  Quote:
Batara Kala is the god of the underworld in traditional Javanese and Balinese mythology. He is also the god of time and destruction, who devours unlucky people. Batara Kala is the cause of the solar and lunar eclipses. As the god of darkness and the underworld, Batara Kala is the sworn enemy of the god of the Moon, Batara Candra and god of the Sun, Batara Surya. Sometimes he will try to devour the Sun or Moon, causing an eclipse. When this eclipse happens, Javanese villagers will try to save the Sun or Moon by offering sacrifices and banging lesung (traditional rice hulling equipment) or slit drums, to cause noise and make Batara Kala vomit. This is thought to release the Sun or Moon and stop the eclipse. |
