The ritual aims at cleansing the devotee's body and soul from both self-inflicted impurities and negative influences from outside sources. To some extent, the ritual also recharges a person's spiritual strength and enthusiasm.
The ritual consisted mainly of the recitation of a special mantra by the high priest. The mantra had elements of an exorcism, invoked by the high priest to cleanse the devotee's body and soul from various evil forces, including black magic. The final parts of the mantra were devoted to the adoration of the deities' mighty powers. The high priest closed the recitation by imploring the gods to bestow their grace and protection on the devotee.
Grace was symbolized in the ritual by the sprinkling of holy water and the consumption of the consecrated rice of Bija. Protection was granted through the Karawista, a head band made of strips of Ilalang grass (Imperata cylindrica), a green leaf and a red flower.
Karawista is a symbol of Omkara, the most sacred and powerful letter and sound in the teachings of Balinese Hinduism. The Omkara stands for Almighty God's powers of creation, preservation and annihilation,
Ilalang grass is be the only earthly object that has experienced direct contact with Amrta, the Elixir of Eternal Life. The contact has given Ilalang grass immortality and ultimate power against dark forces.
