The Research Methods include interview, observation, and documentation. The research results are the remaining teachings of the Pancamakara Puja practice that still exist such as Bhairawa puja ritual in Pujungan Bali. Hindu Bhairawa in Pujungan was brought to life by a man named I Nengah Gatot Kaca. The Bhairawa puja ritual is used as a short cut problem weapon to solve world problems. The Bhairawa puja ritual at Pujungan is placed in a quiet Pujungan coffee garden area away from the crowds. The ceremony leader of the ritual is I Nengah Gatot Kaca/Gede Gatot Bhinawa Rata who has the title of Diksa Bheru Baba. In the coffee garden area, two black stones (linggams) were placed as the embodiment of Bhairava and Bhairavi. The Bhairawa puja ritual procession began with prepare ritual facilities for male goat blood, alcohol, flowers, fruits and other ingredients. After all the ritual facilities were ready and the ritual participants were present, the ritual procession begins by summoning the spirits of Bhairawa and Bhairawi which was done by making offerings such as the blood of a sacrificial animal which is sprinkled on two lingams as the embodiment of Bhairava and Bhairavi while accompanied by chanting of mantras by the priest, followed by other offerings such as alcoholic beverages, fragrances, and flowers on the Linggam. At that time, some participants will feel the presence of Bhairava and all ritual participants can do whatever prayer or invocation they want.
