Kajian Rupabheda: Tokoh-Tokoh Sri Tanjung pada Relief Candi Penataran

Abstract

Sri Tanjung's reliefs are displayed on the exterior wall of the second terrace of Penataran Temple, East Java. The community believes it narrative lifts the story of the Banyuwangi legend from Middle Javanese era.There are figures of Sri Tanjung following the signifier of trees, animals, and natural forms in decorative style.Some studies have tried to interpret relief from the other perspective.Rupabheda exists as aesthetic theory which forms the basis of the new interpretation method.Through the semiotic method, relief is assumed to be a representation of signs and symbols (consisting of signifier and signified).The analysis is done by connecting these elements with denotatum, ground, and interpretant.Rupabheda analysis manages to examine the shift in the meaning of various signs found in Hindu statues.This study found a renewal of meaning in the identification of figures.Sri Tanjung's relief visualization has disguised the icons of Middle Javanese culture of Hindu statues' relief.This study found that this relief has included a narrative of a different local story from the epic Mahabarata-Ramayana in the Hindu architectural site.
