The Calonarang tale inspires this illustration, showcasing the extraordinary powers of the character Walunateng Dirah, which greatly influenced the story. With unmatched "pengleyakan" abilities, she worships Dewi Durga, known as Sang Hyang Bhairawi, at the sacred site of Gandhamayu, granting her and her disciples the power to unleash plagues in the kingdom of Kediri.
Walunateng Dirah's power to spread diseases in Kediri is a significant element in this artwork. Using special effects and a mystical aura, her powers are visually depicted, enhanced by dramatic lighting and shadows, emphasizing her strength and enigmatic nature.
Blending Balinese culture with modernization, this artwork captures the essence of Walunateng Dirah in the Calonarang story, incorporating relevant elements while embracing a contemporary visual style.
