In English

In Burdendem Village, Burdendem District, Karangasem Regency, Bali there is a routine tradition every two years. This tradition is called the matigtig tradition. This unique tradition is often the main attraction for tourists when they want to visit Bebandem Village.

The tradition of mating comes from the basic Balinese word tigtig, which means hitting consecutively and repeatedly. This tradition is carried out by several men in pairs. Generally, these men will be dressed in traditional clothes but bare-chested, then they will hit each other on the back with papah biu (banana stem) as a weapon.

The matigtig tradition is carried out spontaneously. The point is that the men who follow this tradition are free to choose their respective opponents during the metigtig procession. Nevertheless, they did not seem to harbor anger even though they were hit by a banana leaf.

It is believed that this tradition is carried out as an effort to find natural balance and ward off gerubug (an epidemic) that attacks the people of Uangdem Village.

Apart from that, the Matigtig tradition is a representation of chivalrous qualities. This means that the residents of Jenisdem, as supporters of Ida Bhatara Alit, show their warrior identity to protect the village of Banyakem from danger.

In Indonesian

Di Desa Bebandem, Kecamatan Bebandem, Kabupaten Karangasem, Bali memiliki tradisi rutin dua tahun sekali. Tradisi tersebut bernama tradisi matigtig. Tradisi unik ini sering menjadi daya tarik wisatawan saat ingin mengunjungi Desa Bebandem.

Tradisi matigting berasal dari kata dasar Bahasa Bali yakni tigtig yang berarti memukul secara berturut-turut dan berulang-ulang. Tradisi ini dilakukan oleh beberapa orang laki-laki secara berpasangan. Umumnya para pria ini akan berpakaian adat namun bertelanjang dada, kemudian satu sama lain akan memukul punggung dengan papah biu (pelepah pisang) sebagai senjatanya.

Adapun tradisi matigtig ini dilakukan secara spontan. Maksudnya adalah para lelaki yang mengikuti tradisi itu bebas memilih lawannya masing-masing selama prosesi metigtig berlangsung. Kendati demikian, mereka tak terlihat memendam amarah meski terkena pukulan batang daun pisang.

Diyakini tradisi ini dilaksanakan sebagai upaya mencari keseimbangan alam dan mengusir gerubug (wabah penyakit) yang menyerang masyarakat Desa Bebandem.

Selain itu tradisi matigtig adalah representasi sifat-sifat kesatria. Hal itu bermaksud bahwa warga Bebandem sebagai penyungsung Ida Bhatara Alit menunjukan jati diri kesatria untuk menjaga Desa Bebandem dari mara bahaya.
