Gunungan

The "Gunungan" in Wayang (Javanese shadow puppet) performances symbolizes the human experience where, as it rises, it narrows, representing the oneness of God. However, this Gunungan is distinct; it holds the forbidden fruit as the core of life, bestowing humans with intellect, virtue, and other creative faculties. The puppeteer, known as the Dalang, operates the Gunungan during a Wayang (Javanese shadow puppet) performance. The Dalang can be depicted as a Divine Entity transcending all mysteries, orchestrating life's movements.
