Satya Bharasta is a tari kreasi (composed and choreographed by the renowned I Nyoman Cerita) for six male dancers. This dance portrays the battle between Karna, the viceroy of Awangga and ally of the Kurawa; and Gatotkaca, the flying son of the Pandawa brother Bima of the Mahabharata. Due to unusual circumstances surrounding Gatotkaca's birth, it was foretold that he would die by a special arrow, which Karna possesses. The dance features a rather ingenious formation of Karna's chariot, complete with wheels (via rotating temple umbrellas or pajeng) and a bucking horse.
