Sandaran Lelangit is an instrumental piece that is inspired by the classical style music of Banjar Intaran, Sanur. Sandaran is another name for Telek, a manifestation of God in the form of a mask that is performed on every odalan, temple ceremony. Literally, Sandaran can be interpreted as a place to lean on, while Lelangit is a term to mention the ancestors worshiped by the Balinese. Sandaran Lelangit has the meaning of a place for the ancestors to 'lean' during the ceremony.

In a musical context, this work tries to present a magical and aesthetic atmosphere at the arrival of the ancestors during the ceremony. The strains of classical melodies with the typical ornamentation of the classical Sandaran melody are the main choice. Sandaran Lelangit is a re-interpretation and re-format of classical musical instruments that developed in Sanur, Bali.
