Apuan village: 5 km walk from Bukit Demulih. The house of the kepa/a desa, with its gold leaf decoration, is as beautiful as a king's palace. Bukit Jati: Another hill to the south of Bangli. Take a bemo first to Guliang, then walk or take a motorbike 500 m to the top of the hill. BANGLI Sights: Meet the
royal family painter A.A. Gd. Bagus Ardhana at Puri Kilian Bangli. See
his dramatic allegorical paintings of the Ramayana epic. The one with
311 the monkeys on Rawana's back took 5 years to paint. One of the biggest
game/an on Bali is in Bangli; it costs Rp9000 for a performance. The Dutch
captured it from the Klungkung Dynasty when they went to war with them,
then gave it to Bangli. Art Center Wisata Budaya, one of the largest cultural
complexes on Bali, is about 2'h km from the town center. Puts on theatre
performances (Kecak, wayang forms) plus art exhibits. Pura Kehen: Thousands
visit this temple located north of town at the foot of the hill, Rp50
to get in. One of the finest examples of its kind on Bali, a big temple
consisting of 3 parts. At the foot of the stairway is a museum. Its splendid
closed gateway is called 'the great exit' and above are the splayed hands
and hideous face of the ka/amakara demon. His function is to prevent evil
spirits from entering the temple grounds. Wayang ku/itlike statues line
the 1st terrace. The first courtyard is shadowed by a giant banyan tree
and its walls are inlaid with Chinese porcelain. Ornamentation on the
highest temple is so overdone and uncontrolled that it's even rare for
Bali. The inner sanctuary has a shrine of 11 tapering meru roofs, the
highest honor that can be offered, resting places for the visiting gods. |

we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between
two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists
of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided
in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The
former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still
considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely
purified ancestors who are considered as divine. Everything Bali Indonesia |
