Brayut legend is very popular in Bali. It is the legend of the conjugal life which had eighteen children. This legend is often associated with Hariti mythology, which also had many children. The purpose of this research is to determine the transformation of Hariti ideology in Bali. The result of this research is some varieties of media transformation of Hariti ideologi such as statues, folklore, legends, literary works such as poems about Brayut geguritan. Balinese people rarely know the name of Hariti. It is known that a family or a statue that has many children as Berayut. Nevertheless, the transformation of Hariti ideology from India to Bali, certainly not taken for granted, but adapted to the local culture of Balinese people. So, it really can be internalized and implemented in everyday life, in term of protection to children. Legenda Brayut sangat populer di Bali, yakni legenda mengenai kehidupan suami-istri yang memiliki delapan belas anak. Legenda ini sering dikaitkan dengan mitologi Hariti, yang juga memiliki banyak anak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui transformasi ideologi Hariti di Bali. Hasil penelitian ini berupa berbagai media transformasi ideologi Hariti seperti arca, cerita rakyat, legenda, karya sastra puisi berupa geguritan tentang Brayut. Masyarakat Bali jarang yang mengenal nama Hariti. Justru yang dikenal kalau menyinggung masalah keluarga atau arca yang banyak anak sebagai Berayut. Meskipun demikian, transformasi ideologi Hariti dari tanah India, hingga sampai ke Bali, tentu tidak diterima begitu saja, tetapi disesuaikan dengan budaya lokal masyarakat Bali. Dengan demikian, hal ini benar-benar dapat diinternalisasi dan diimplementasikan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, dalam hal perlindungan kepada anak.
