Tenganan Pegringsingan

Description

This is one of the original traditional villages Bali Aga found in the Karangasem mountain area. The walled village is laid out in three parts to suit different functions: dwelling, gardening and rice farming. The houses all sport the same design and are backed off by one central living and trading vein. Tenganan is famous for its Gringsing handmade weaved cloth, which possesses spiritual properties. The village has its own peculiar artistic traditions, the most spectacular of these being the Pandanus leaf duel (Geret Padan) where men fight each other with spiky leaves to the entrancing sounds of native selunding music.

Pre-Hindu village is pristine

By Don, 3/31/07

This pure Balinese culture ( Bali Aga )predates Hinduism, and they have maintained a pure blood line through out hundreds of years. The weaving is more sacred, the village layout is different, and the sculptures are pristine. Not "touristy", but organised. A "must see" when in Eastern Bali. Nearby is Pandang Bai harbor and beaches, and Candi Dasa Beaches. A good day trip all round.

This is one of the great original traditional villages (Bali Aga) i have been to. found in the Karangasem mountain area. The walled village is laid out in three parts to suit different functions: dwelling, gardening and rice farming these are set out neatly. The houses all sport the same design and are backed off by one central living and trading vein. Tenganan is famous for its Gringsing handmade weaved cloth, which possesses spiritual properties they are very nice. The village has its own peculiar artistic traditions, the most spectacular of these being the Pandanus leaf duel (Geret Padan) where men fight each other with spiky leaves to the entrancing sounds of iron gamelan (selunding) music very amusing. it was worth it! i reccomend it!
