Performance configuration: a circle of 50-150 male performers seated cross-legged, chanting interlocking \"chak-chak-chak\" rhythmic patterns in characteristic seven-or-more-part hocketed polyrhythm, while a single performer in the center enacts scenes from the Ramayana narrative. The form is one of the most internationally recognized Balinese performance traditions through twentieth-century tourist circuit.",
