In Balinese rituals, the spilling of blood during tajen (cockfights) is meant to appease the buta-kala (demonic forces) which otherwise would create disturbances and disrupt the ceremonies. Specially bred roosters are taken in cages to a clearing or arena. A referee and time-keeper control the activities. Gambling is very much a part of this male dominated pastime. Women, however, usually are nearby and sell food and drinks. A vendor here grates coconut for her sweets as a man passes by with his flock of ducks.

Ida Bagus Rai (1933) Rajapala steals Sulasih’s clothes (fragment)

A mortal who mates with a supernatural creature and produces a superior child is the basic theme of the folktale of Rajapala, similar to other such stories found throughout the world. In the Balinese version Rajapala is a handsome young man who secretly sees seven beautiful vidyadhari (heavenly nymphs) bathing in a forest pool. He sneaks up on them and steals the clothing of the prettiest one, Ken Sulasih, which prevent her from returning to heaven.

Rajapala has Sulasih promise to marry him if he gives back her garments. She agrees but on the condition that she be allowed to return to heaven after a child is born to them
