Balinese constellation: Udang (a prawn), re-drawn by Jessica Gullberg for the planetarium software Stellarium (CC-BY Youla Azkarrula & Jessica Gullberg)

Udang is an Oceanic name from Bali (Indonesia). The lintang of udang is found in intersection of Sukra (Friday, in saptawara) and Kliwon (in pancawara) in a series of palelintangan. Lintang udang means prawn constellation.[1]

Etymology and History

Udang (IPA: [ˈu.daŋ]), means shrimp.

Spelling Variants

  • hudang
  • urang
  • makara

Origin of Constellation

For Balinese people, shrimp is primarily viewed as a food commodity with high economic value and a key ingredient in Balinese cuisine. Shrimp, particularly whiteleg and tiger shrimp, is a leading fishery commodity in Bali with significant economic potential. The local and central governments fully support the development of shrimp cultivation in various regions in Bali, such as Jembrana and Buleleng, to meet local and export market demand. Shrimp is considered a source of high-quality protein with health benefits. Government campaigns to promote the consumption of fish and seafood, including shrimp, are also being promoted in Bali.[2]

Furthermore, shrimp symbolize good fortune and fertility, which are expected to bring prosperity to the community. This is reflected in the Balinese batik art, Batik Ulamsari Mas, which depicts fish and shrimp.

General information

Identification of Balinese constellations (Maaß 1929, appendix).

The astronomical identification of the constellation is taken from Maaß (1929)[3] who explains in general that these constellations and the according ritual practice

"sind seit alten Zeiten in einem Werk ,,wariga" niedergelegt, in dem wir zwei Kulturschichten, nämlich indische und malaio-polynesische Bestandteile wiederfinden."

English: "are written down in a work called "wariga" since old times; there we recognise two cultural layers, i.e. the Indian and the Malayo-Polynesian."

He also quotes other scholars[4][5][6][7] and his earlier work[8][9] reporting that this work dates back to the 9th century CE when Bali was part of a Hindu empire on the neighbouring island of Java.[3] Neubronner van der Tuuk even uses the Old Javanese spelling.

Identification

The identifications, Maaß (1929) gives according to the aforementioned and his own studies during visits of the country and in European and Batavian libraries (p.150).[3]

Transfer and Transformation of the Constellation

Mythology / Religion

Pura Dalem Sempua, located in Dalung Village, North Kuta District, Badung Regency, is known as a sacred Balinese Hindu site filled with mystical aura. Anyone entering this area must strictly adhere to a number of taboos. One of them is that the entire family of the priest is also strictly prohibited from consuming shrimp. This is because the "due" (guardian of the temple area) at Pura Dalem Sempua is in the form of tailless julit fish, tailless snakehead fish, and shrimp.
