Topeng Dalem. The King, the Mask and the Dance.

Topeng Dalem represents the King, Dalem Waturenggon, associated with the Golden Age of Balinese Kingdom of Gelgel during the 16th century. He is known within this narrative as loving, benevolent and wise. A compassionate King. That is why, according to Kadek Sudiasa, in order to carve and capture the essence of Topeng Dalem is difficult. To capture the calm and gentleness of this King, with what he describes as having a particular softness around the eyes. It is this very subtlety within his character that makes it difficult to capture. He lacks the obvious characteristics that are embodied in Topeng Keras or Topeng Tua.

Kehalusan dalam karakternya inilah yang membuatnya sulit untuk ditangkap. Ia tidak memiliki ciri-ciri nyata yang terkandung dalam Topeng Keras atau Topeng Tua.
