Indonesian term or phrase: Oleh karena itulah upacara
A discussion about the Eka Dasa Rudra ceremony
Adam Stankiewicz
English translation:Then, the (Eka Dasa Rudra) ceremony...
Explanation:
Unfortunately you did not provide the whole sentence.
The words "Oleh karena itulah" are only a statement to emphasize the subject of the sentence. You can translate those words to - then, therefore, hence, or other similar words.
The word "upacara", I believe is the subject of the sentence, means "ceremony", in your context, it can be "Eka Dasa Rudra Ceremony".

Therefore, ceremony


Explanation:
Your sentence is not complete.
In Indonesian, the phrase "Oleh karena itulah" functions as 'transitional phrase' and it is translated into English as "therefore/hence/etc.".
The word "upacara", I suspect, is at least part of the subject for the whole sentence.
Please supply the complete sentence so that I can help you.

Explanation:
Your sentence seems uncomplete. At least, your context does not help. I just take that your sentence is complete and, therefore, the translation is "Therefore, that's the ceremony.

Thus the ceremony.


Explanation:
This is assuming your sentence is complete. If your sentence was not complete, I would translate it as

"The ceremony is therefore . . ."

The transliteration of "oleh karena itulah" is "because of that," and "upacara" is "ritual" or "ceremony"

That is why we have to do a ritual.


Explanation:
The sentence is correct, for the balinesians anyway. It is a translation from the ancient balinese expression 'Wawu Ngupacara', from the 'Lontar Indik Ngekasada Rudra' (the scroll/papyrus that describes the rituals of Eka Dasa Rudra).

A Balinese 'Upacara' should not be translated simply as a ceremony. It is a sacred ancient ritual, in the concept of 'Panca Yadnya/Yajna', as a frail attempt to repay the abundant goodness that has been bestowed upon the balinesians.
