 The God Vishnu (Wisnu) transforms into a Brahala |
Brahala is a big, scary giant of Indonesian mythology, the transformation of the God Vishnu while Vishnu's descendants perform the triwikrama ritual.[1][2] In the arts of Indonesian shadow puppetry, Brahala is portrayed as a mountain-sized giant with a thousand heads and arms, each holding various kinds of weapons.[3] described as having big frightening eyes. Brahala's name comes from the Javanese terms "Brah" and "Ala" meaning "scary face".[3]
