"SAMAR"

"Samar" is a creature that embodies the flaws and imperfections in human relationships. It is depicted as a disabled human with a small figure at its waist, representing the interdependence of humans with egos behind them. Though small, the little figure is more capable of thought than its host. "Samar" represents the vagueness of perfection that results from the imperfections and dependence on individuals. This concept is closely related to the Balinese community's belief in the niskala world, where supernatural creatures exist but are not easily understood. In traditional Balinese stories, supernatural beings such as "Wong Samar" symbolize the flaws and imperfections in human relationships. They are often associated with death or life after death, believed to still have a connection with the niskala world. In Balinese beliefs, supernatural beings play a significant role in maintaining the balance of the universe and are given offerings in traditional ceremonies.
