The visual form of Dewi Renuka puppet consists of three different forms, namely:

1. Image of Dewi Renuka when she was young

In this first picture, it shows that Dewi Renuka uses a red hair bun accessory, symbolizing that Dewi Renuka when she was young still maintained her appearance to look beautiful and attractive to men who looked at her by using a bun accessory on her hair. In addition to using accessories on her head and hair, Dewi Renuka when she was young also used a necklace accessory that circled Dewi Renuka's neck, as well as other accessories, namely on her wrists. On both wrists, Dewi Renuka wears bracelets that are the same color and shape, red and round. In addition to using accessories, Dewi Renuka wears a samparan dress. Samparan is a type of kampuh used by the Putri Figure. The samparan used by the Putri Figure Dewi Renuka uses a red color with a black pattern and on her dress, Dewi Renuka also uses lengseng on her chest that extends to her waist so that it can be the center of attention of those who see it.

2. Image of Dewi Renuka when she married King Jamadagni

In this second picture, it shows that Dewi Renuka's head does not use hair bun accessories like in the first picture. This is because after marrying Prabu Jamadagni, Dewi Renuka has studied life and has 5 sons. On the body of Dewi Renuka, she wears long clothes, namely white clothes that symbolize purity and the clothes are patterned with flowers. In this second picture, Dewi Renuka no longer uses accessories on her neck or on her wrists and no longer uses accessories on her clothes, namely lengseng. She only wears long white clothes and is combined with a songket or black skirt that is white and also green on Dewi Renuka's waist. The feet are also the same as in the first picture of Dewi Renuka, she does not use accessories or the like.

3. Image of Dewi Renuka when Surrendering to God

In this third picture, Dewi Renuka's head does not use the same accessories as in the second picture. In this picture, Dewi Renuka only uses binggel accessories on both wrists, the bracelets are red and round and only uses one on each wrist, different from the first picture of Dewi Renuka who uses two bracelets on each wrist. In the body part, in this third picture, Dewi Renuka wears long clothes the same as the second picture, but in this dress, Dewi Renuka uses red with floral patterns and wears a light green skirt or songket. In this picture, Dewi Renuka is also not the same as the second picture, she does not use lengseng like in the first picture. And also, the legs are the same as the previous pictures, they do not use accessories and the like.

4. Image of transition of Dewi Renuka’s life

The picture above tells the transition of Dewi Renuka's life. Judging from the three forms of each Dewi Renuka puppet, it has a different form. This picture shows the head of Dewi Renuka using a hair bun on her head that is red. a. When Dewi Renuka was young and thirsty for worldly wealth, Dewi Renuka only thought about the world and wealth. It can be seen from the clothes she wears, she only wears minimal clothes and wears fashion accessories such as; kana bracelets on both wrists, hair buns that wear red accessories and also wear lungseng on her clothes. b. When Dewi Renuka began her married life with Jamadagni who was blessed with five sons. Dewi Renuka lived a happy life and began to organize herself to be better and get closer to Allah SWT. It can be seen from the clothes she wears, she wears more closed clothes in white which symbolizes the learning of purity during her life, not wearing accessories on her head and clothes. After his marriage and Dewi Renuka cheated on him, Dewi Renuka's husband was furious. This made Dewi Renuka increasingly resigned and closer to her creator. Evidence of this behavior can be seen from the clothes she wears, namely closed and simple clothes without using necklaces or head accessories, only using binggel bracelets.

Conclusion
The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the form of each Wayang Kulit Purwa character is adjusted to the expressive, decorative, humorous, and caricature concepts that do not lead to the physical form of the character depicted, but rather to its nature or character.

As in the results of the study of the Wayang Putren collection from Dewi Renuka.
That from the results of the study the forms of puppets from the three Dewi Renuka puppets have meanings and significance that can explain the mood of the puppet character, the character of the puppet, the depiction of time and moments in each puppet character. The characteristics depicted in the Wayang Kulit Purwa characters are also a depiction of human characters in the world. Likewise, the depiction of the nature and life of the female character in the Wayang Kulit Purwa performance, namely Dewi Renuka.

To help preserve the culture of Purwa shadow puppets, especially the characters of various Purwa shadow puppet figures so that the cultural heritage can continue to be passed on to the next generation, Indonesian children are also expected to care more about the culture full of values ​​and meaning that we have and to be proud and take part in its development.
