In Balinese and Javanese practice it functions as a way to make ultimate reality present in ritual and art—often aniconically as an empty throne (padmasana) or anthropomorphically as a naked, flame-surrounded figure—rather than as a narrative, intervening deity.

Bawang Merah dan Bawang Putih
A widely told Malay/Indonesian folktale about two eponymous human stepsisters — Bawang Putih (the humble, patient sister) and Bawang Merah (the vain, cruel sister). The story uses small supernatural motifs (magic pumpkins, a talking fish, a gift-bearing old woman) set in rural liminal spaces to reward virtue and punish vice; it functions as a didactic children's tale rather than an account of a discrete spirit being.
