Abstract

Using religious and cultural approaches and qualitative research, the study of Bali's masatia tradition's conversion to Hinduism was a study of religion and culture. The study focused more on the history, process, and impact of the masatia traditional transformation in the Bali pitra yadnya ceremony. The phenomena brought up and discussed resulted in a change in the kingdom's customary law, its effect on society, and the responses of the Dutch colonial government, particularly in Bali. The masatia change was happened in Bali for the 1908-2014 period because of the progress of the pilgrim rule which for this situation was Dutch colonialist. From 1597 to 1843, the masatia practice existed, and it was officially ended in 1908. The Dutch written agreement with the king of Bali outlawed the masatia practice in Bali. Despite its prohibition, masatia was only practiced secretly by a government until the 1920s. Each castle in Bali undergoes a gradual transformation of the masatia tradition. Since 1849, the Buleleng castles have marked the end of masatia. The kingdoms of Jembrana, Badung, Tabanan, Bangli, Karangasem, Gianyar, and Klungkung followed. The transition process took place during the process of substituting masatia for the fire. However, in the end, masatia rambut was substituted for the king's approval as a replacement. Due to the Hindu community in particular in Bali, where the hair was regarded as the most sacred, the masatia rambut was utilized as a substitute. The crown of hair that covered the head and served as its focal point. The term tatwa, deeds, ceremonies, and upakara (offering tools) were all part of the masatia transformation.
