Abstract

The Bedhaya Dirada Metadance is performed by seven male dancersand is a symbol of respect to soldiers who have died in battle. The number seven in the Bedhaya Dirada Meta dance is closely related to the philosophy of Mankunegara I’s struggle. The basis of Mankunegara I’s struggle in essence cannot be separated from the concept of leadership of the knights of Mataram which promotes three aspects, namely religion, morality, and culture. Of these three aspects, its seems that the main philosophy used as a basis for Mankunegara I’s struggle is the concept of religious Islamic teachings in order to reach a level of perfection and to draw closer to God the Creator. Keywords: meaning, seven, bedhaya dirada meta
