Cudamani children get a baby barong

The benevolent Barong is loved by all Balinese children. Dewa Berata and members of Cudamani made a 'miniature' Barong for the children of Pengosekan. This Barong is impressive in every way, the hair is made of packing twine, the headress plastic board, and scraps of materials found around the house. It took Dewa over a month to make this by hand. Here you see 4 year old Dewa Gde Sanjaya put on the Barong (with 6 year old sister Ayu in the back) for the very first time.
