THE TRANSITION OF HINDU ERA GARUDA VISUAL ELEMENT INTO ISLAMIC ERA BATIK PATTERNS IN JAVA

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the adaption of Garuda mythology and its transfer from the Javanese Hindu period to Garuda motif batik textile designs from the Mataram Islamic period. Data is gathered from printed media and digital library sources relevant to the study object. The data will be analyzed and assessed using descriptively qualitatively by employing Ricoeur's theory of symbol meaning and Damono's adaptation. This approach aims to enhance our comprehension on the correlation of a medium adaptation into another form. The importance of this research is to find out how the Garuda statue has changed and evolved, as well as the philosophical implications behind the Garuda motif in batik patterns. According to field data research, there is syncretism, media transformation, meaning intersection and visualization between the Garuda of Hindu mythology, Islamic spiritual teachings and Islamic Mataram ideology. The findings of this study show that there has been a shift in the visualization concept, as well as the techniques and aesthetics depictions of Garudeyo in the Hindu Mataram period, Garudo in the Demak Islamic period and the symbolic Gurdo batik in the Mataram Islamic kingdom era.
