Kala Marica ......

The Balinese & Javanese Wayang Figure of Ramayana

Kala Marica ........
Kala Marica was one of the Rahwana's nursemaid who had magic power. When Rama was adolescent ,Kala Marica was engaged in combat with Rama in the residence of Begawan Wismamitra. At that time, Kala Marica led the troops to destroy the meditating place of Brahmana.

All the troops of Kala Marica were killed from arrow of Rama and Laksamana, but Kala Marica was safe and flug to his country, Alengka because he was shot by Rama with " Bajra " arrow - hurricane .

The magic power of rama made Kala Marica affraid. When he was invited by Rahwana to look for Rama, he rejected,even he gave Rahwana advice to cancell his cruel intention.

Rahwana become angry and then drew his sword to cut off Kala Marica's head. Because he would be killed, lastly Kala Marica was willing to join Rahwana to find Rama but his duty only separated in far distance among the presence of Rama, Sita and Laksamana in forest Dandaka.

Kala Marica who had magic power changed himselft to be a golden deer ( Kijang emas ) that was absolutely beautiful. That deer tempted site. Sometime he drew closer, sometimes he drew further, If he would be held by Sita, he jumped and ran, and then he drew closer again.

Sita who was eager to have that deer , then got Rama to cath him. Because Rama failed catching him, he lost his patience. Then that deer was form to be Kala Marica. The Kala Marica's scream made Sita think that the scream was Rama's voice, his husband who was in dangerous condition.
