Abstract :

      Prayer is a compulsary for Balinese hindu community. For that reason, they always  do the prayer, especially in sacred days like full moon, galungan, kuningan, nyepi or the day of "piodalan" in the pura. Pura Lempuyang, which is located in Karangasem, is one of the pura kahyangan jagat, where all the Hindu community will do the prayer. Similar to other pura Kahyangan Jagat, like Pura Besakih, Pura Batu Karu, Pura Batur; Pura Lempuyang is located at the top of a mountain near Seraya mountain in Karangasem. Unlike the other Pura Kahyangan Jagat, Pura Lempuyang can not be reached by car. The car can only reach at the parking area, and after that, they have to climb-up on foot and at the same time, they have to carry goods for the ritual offerings. On the way to Pura Lempuyang, they also have to do the prayer at the Puras before Pura Lempuyang, such as Pura Puseh Puri Ayu, Pura Telaga Mas, Pura Telaga Sawang, Pura Lempuyang Madya, Pura Puncak Belibis, Pura Pasar Agung, and finally Pura Lempuyang Luhur. The prayer at each pura takes about 10-20 minutes of time. Related to these condition, we have done the former study about the physical load for each people while they climb-up to Pura Lempuyang Luhur. We took the sample for 5 men and 1 women aged 51-52 years old. The physical load is measured from the raise of the pulse with the ten pulse methode. We conclude that while they climb-up to each Puras, their pulse raised more than maximum pulse rate (220-age). These physical condition can be very dangerous for health and the journey shouldn’t be continued. However, by doing the prayer for 10-20 minutes at the Puras before Pura Lempuyang Luhur, they can take a breath, so that their pulse back to normal after the prayer. From the former study we can conclude that the prayer journey to Pura Lempuyang has consider the physiological aspect, in order to prevent the unwanted situation. For them who can not climb-up until Pura Lempuyang Luhur, they can only do the prayer until the Pura which they able to walk to.
