My home village Batur can be more spectacularly beautiful, but Ubud is where tourists choose to stay longer. Asked by my uncles and aunts, why this is so, I would head for answers rack.
Mostly I would think of healing charms of Ubud. The name itself comes from the word UBAD, which means "medicine". Legend has it that Rsi Markandeya, of the first waves of migration from the Dieng Plateau resulted in Java circa 10th century, discovered the healing power of the river Wos at the mouth, known as Campuhan. Therefore, he had the solution to the Wos River Ridge addressed, north of Ubud today. My father settled here finally, and opted for his last breath of fresh air in the vicinity to take his favorite riverside hideaway.
The observation of the sculpture, which is the mascot of Ubud, I have found a simpler answer in the figure, which stands proudly at Ubud, Gianyar, Pejeng and Tegalalang intersection, about half a kilometer east of the Ubud market. Baring his chest toward Ubud, it looks and draws his bow and arrow towards Gianyar. The shooter reminds me of the prince of charm Arjuna, the legendary lover of Mahabharata.
Arjuna, brothers born the third of the five Pandawa, was not the nicest. His younger brother Nakula was. He was not the strongest or bravest warriors - that was Bima, his older brother. He was neither the smartest nor the wisest of all, have been attributed to the virtues Sahadewa, the youngest, and Dharmawangsa, the respectively oldest. What it special? He was the most charming. Most loved. Most people.
Despite being the spiritual son of Indra, the god of rain and war Arjuna to fight not a zealous. He stopped on the battlefield of Kurusetra. Krishna, the family counselor, sang to him. The Song of Wise Bhagavan, known to many as the Bhagavad-Gita, was to contain a sacred section of the Mahabharata, because it is a pearl of wisdom for the people: Life is for karma or action; the time to do. One has its tasks, perform his Dharma.
Why was this weak mortal asked the biggest battle of all Indian epics to lead? Because it gave people hope. So the soldiers would their hearts brave when he had to.
Arjuna captures the imagination of a man who is so charming, he had many wives and no scolded him. Among his wives and lovers were goddesses, princesses, demons and monsters. He fathered numerous children, and they all came good, so patient and charming was the man. When the war came, fought them side by side.
It seems that the new large and broad women, namely, the large buses figuratively begin on the toes of Ubud longer to occur, established lovers. The problem appears between its many tasks, thanks to the geographical distribution of its many women the legendary Arjuna succeeded quite well a spatial planning and time management, to be something. Ubud today but has a limited range, to keep in the concubines and offspring and maintain. Perhaps there is a limit for the number of enthusiasts Ubud can take, after all ... if Ubud is to preserve its charm.
