In English
Tigawasa Village is one of many Bali Aga villages in the Buleleng hills. Each of those Bali Aga villages has a unique and different tradition. In Tigawasa Village itself, there is a tradition called Nedunang Kayehan Sanghyang. In ancient Balinese, kayehan means a place for bathing. In the past, in these sacred forests there were baths for holy people. Now it becomes public baths.
The existence of Tigawasa Village is closely related to the arrival of Rsi Markandeya to Bali around the eighth century AD. The sacred forests in Tigawasa are commonly called forest temples, because the forest itself is considered a vast natural temple. This concept is exactly the same as the Sabang Daat Temple in Banjar Puakan, Taro Village, Gianyar. There, the forest is sacred and is considered a holy place even though there is no special shrine there like a temple in general. The community believes that Puakan is the place where Rsi Markandeya first cleared forest for agricultural land.
Nedunang Kayehan Sanghyang is actually one of the core processions of the Sabha ceremony. There are several types of sabha ceremonies in Tigawasa. According to Wijana (2013), several Sabha ceremonies that are held in these sacred forests include the Sabha Ngubeng, Sabha Mamiut, Sabha Baas Sabha, Sabha Nyeta and Sabha Malguna. There are no specific days for this sabha rituals to be performed. Whenever village elders receive spiritual guidance, a Sabha ceremony will be held.The sabha ceremony in the sacred Tigawasa forests is a synergy of religion and nature. In religious societies, belief should be used to protect nature from damages. Sometimes, old civilizations don't always mean old-fashioned. An old civilization can actually teach us wonderful things about how beautiful the relationship between humans, God and nature is.

In Indonesian
Desa Tigawasa adalah salah satu dari sekian banyak desa Bali Aga di perbukitan Buleleng. Masing-masing desa Bali Aga tersebut memiliki tradisi yang unik dan berlainan. Di Desa Tigawasa sendiri, ada tradisi yang disebut Nedunang Kayehan Sanghyang. Dalam bahasa Bali kuno, kayehan berarti pemandian. Dahulu, di hutan-hutan keramat tersebut ada pemandian untuk orang-orang suci. Kini tempat itu menjadi pemandian umum.
Keberadaan Desa Tigawasa erat kaitannya dengan kedatangan Rsi Markandeya ke Bali sekitar abad kedelapan Masehi. Hutan-hutan keramat di Tigawasa lazim disebut pura hutan, sebab hutan itu sendiri dianggap sebuah pura alami yang luas. Konsep seperti ini persis sama dengan Pura Sabang Daat di Banjar Puakan, Desa Taro, Gianyar. Di sana, hutan dikeramatkan dan dianggap sebagai tempat suci walaupun tidak ada pelinggih khusus di sana layaknya sebuah pura pada umumnya. Masyarakat percaya bahwa Puakan adalah tempat kali pertamanya Rsi Markandeya membuka hutan untuk lahan pertanian.
Nedunang Kayehan Sanghyang sesungguhnya hanya salah satu prosesi inti dari upacara Sabha. Upacara sabha di Tigawasa ada beberapa jenis. Menurut Wijana (2013), beberapa upacara Sabha yang diadakan di hutan-hutan keramat tersebut antara lain Sabha Ngubeng, Sabha Mamiut, Sabha Sabuh Baas, Sabha Nyeta dan Sabha Malguna. Tidak ada hari khusus sabha ini dilaksanakan. Kapan pun tetua desa mendapat petunjuk spiritual, maka upacara Sabha akan digelar.Upacara sabha di hutan-hutan Tigawasa yang keramat ini adalah sebuah sinergi religi dan alam. Dalam masyarakat religius, kepercayaan seharusnya dipakai untuk melindungi alam dari kerusakan. Kadang-kadang, peradaban tua tidak berarti terbelakang. Peradaban yang tua justru bisa mengajari kita hal-hal ajaib tentang betapa indahnya hubungan manusia dengan Tuhan dan alam.
