Summary: | Babahan inscriptions are not fully published until now. Historical data which were revealed from Babahan inscriptions are very limited. This research aims to reconstruct cultural history and reveal social institutions depicted in Babahan inscriptions in order to add historical data of ancient Bali. The data were collected through observation, such as physical attributes, material, amount of plates, amount of lines on every plate, type of letters, and type of languages, then continued with literature study. Analysis was done through transliteration, editing, and translation. Interpretation is presented descriptively by placing it in the context of ancient Bali history. The result of this research is that Babahan inscriptions could be grouped into two groups. Group one uses ancient Balinese letter and language which was issued by King Ugrasena. Group two uses ancient Javanese letter and language which was issued by King Wālaprabhu. The social institutions, depicted by Babahan inscriptions, are political and religious institutions. Political institution is depicted through the mentions of official positions in the government and social order in society. Religious institution is depicted through the mentions of official positions of religious leaders, sacred places, the idea of king leadership, and ṡapatha.
