The word Bhoma comes from the Sanskrit word bhaumá.

 

In Balinese mythology, Bhoma is the son of the god of rain Wisnu and the beautiful goddess of earth Pertiwi.

 

One day Wisnu, taking the shape of a wild boar, was digging to the bottom of the earth to meet Pertiwi.

 

Torrents of stormy rain water gushed into the ground.

 

Through this union of earth and water Bhoma was born.

 

Bhoma became an Indonesian guardian.
