Hunting the Traces of Ancient Balinese Culture (1)

Prehistoric Museum T

he museum is located in the western edge of Bali Island, in Gilimanuk village, Jembrana, around 160 km to the west of Denpasar, and can be easily accessed. The Prehistoric Museum was built above an archeological site ashore from the Gilimanuk Bay, approximately more than 20 hectares at 5 meters above the sea level and is now a non productive dry field. This museum was built by the government of Jembrana regency, in cooperation with the National Archeological Research and Development Centre, Jakarta and Denpasar Archeological Office which

was officially opened at 1960. The museum was constructed to preserve archeological excavations in Gilimanuk, pioneered by Prof, Dr. R, P, Soejono in 1963 and continued until a few years ago. Based on the excavations, it can be found that Gilimanuk was a necropolis, a village or settlement of fishermen and a cemetery, developed in Bronze Age, around 2000 years ago or about the beginning ofthe century, long before India influenced Bali. It rumed out that this site is rich with cultural heritage as can be seen from the abundance findings of hundreds of prehistoric skeletons

Based on the paleonthropological research could be identified that Gilimanuk people were Autralomelanesid race by way of strong mongoloid characteristics. The death was commonly caused by the influence of limestone environment which inflicted calcification disease, mandible and osteoporosis. It indicates that the health of Gilimanuk people was adverse with mortality rate frequently around the age of

Ratna Listy assessed that many things could be carried out to preserve the earth and its environment as well as keep them from further damages without having to depend on the government. “We can start it from now, without having to rely on the government. If we continue to do so it will be too late. As a matter of fact, we can start it from ourselves and now on,” she observed firmly. According to her, improving the environment could be started from simple things such as saving water, saving electricity and not littering haphazardly. In addition, it also could be done by reducing the use of

Ngusaba Guling, a Unique Ritual at Timbrah Village EVERY region in Bali has its own uniqueness. The residents of Timbrah Customary Village, for instance, organized Ngusaba Dalem on Tuesday (Feb 1). On that occasion, virtually all households offered at least one roasted suckling pig. As used a myriad of roasted pigs (babi guling), the ritual is also better known as Ngusaba Guling.

Timbrah Village t

uch annual Ngusaba ritual held in the eighth month based on Balinese calendar (falling around January-February) is a unique tradition. There are so many roasted pigs put into offering. Other than this uniqueness, the Ngusaba also reflects the togetherness of the local villagers. Adviser of Timbrah Customary Village, I Nengah Sudarsa, who is also the Secretary of Karangasem Regency Government, stated that pursuant to the philosophy or regulation of the customary village there was no obligation to offer a roasted pig for each household. However, it

highly depended on the sincerity and capability of each customary villager. However due to their togetherness, each household presented a roasted pig together with its complementary oblation. Sudarsa, who was a former chief of the customary village, added that the ritual reflected the togetherness of villagers. If there were poor villagers or they were unable to offer roasted pig, then ‘the haves’ would share their roasted pig after being offered. On that account, people who were unable to roast pig could even have a larger amount of meat because so many villagers gave them. Actually, said Sudarsa, the main purpose of Ngusaba Dalem ritual was to worship the Goddess Durgha (consort of Lord Shiva) to invoke welfare and safety for the Timbrah villagers in particular. “Offering the roasted pig poses an expression of gratitude of local villagers for the grace bestowed in the form of crops and livestock by the gods worshiped at the Dalem Temple of Timbrah Customary Vil-

He added that since not all residents were able to offer a roasted pig they could optionally offer roasted duck accompanied by complementary offerings like Canang Bayuan depending on their sincerity and capability. Sudarsa said the total household at his village was 789. Related to the successful harvest in the rice fields and estates and the non-existence of disease outbreak affecting the livestock in the village territory, it could be assured that all households would offer at least one roasted pig. It meant there were no fewer than 800 crispy roasted pigs of various sizes would be offered in the temple. The tradition of offering roas-ted pig together with complementary offerings was not only performed in the Ngusaba Dalem ritual. In the Ngusaba Sumbu falling around July, local villagers could also present the same offerings. Excep for both unique traditions, the regulation of customary village also set

forth the prohibition of organizing any kind of gambling. For those who violated the rules, the village authority would impose a sanction

in the form of rice fine. So far, the local villagers were very obedient to the regulations and they lived their life relatively serenely. B N (BTN/kmb)

Visiting Professor Paul Trinidad from the University of Western Australia, is working with Indonesian Art Institute (ISI) FSRD Denpasar to develop an international art and cultural program between Australia and Indonesia.The professor is fascinated with traditional and contemporary Balinese culture and believes that the young artists impressions give us the best glimpse in to the future of Bali. “Bali is in safe hands” he said, “the young artists are culturally aware and delivering fresh new ideas for the protection and development of Balinese culture”. He explained that delivering cultural insights in the form of art is just one part of professional practice, Understanding commu-

nity needs takes more than insight and comment, it also requires action. The Prof said he would like all artists to respond to Bali’s Governor Made Mangku Pastika invitation to the people of Bali to free themselves from waste plastic pollution. Mangku also encourages people to ride bicycles, particularly unlicensed, young students who ride motorcycles to school. The Prof believes Pastika is a visionary and adds “the best way of learning about and teaching culture is to be involved in culture”. Bali Clean and Green should be known as a Cultural project that everyone is involved in. “The Tri Hita Karana mandates a balance between man and the environment which I believe is re-

lated to using bicycle for transport and fitness. I believe all religion recognizes that the human body is a temple (that god lives within) and as such, the temple needs to be maintained – nourished and kept fit.’’ Prof Paul rides not just to keep his temple fit and healthy but also to promote the activity to everyone he meets in Bali. “ I am slowly getting the Faculty at ISI interested” he said, “but I have a lot of work to do before the Rector Prof Rai is seen riding a bicycle to his office!” “I say this to be humorous but, I notice in Bali that emphasis seems to be on getting children and students on bicycles but parents and teachers need to set the example by riding bicycles themselves. I would like to see more bicycles on campus at ISI, I think art students could become Bali’s newest group of Green Warriors,’’ Paul ended. B N (BTN/ist)

inspiration of local temple priest in the Campuan Windu Segara Temple a year ago. Local temple priest gave him a little description of Nyi Roro Kidul along with the clothing. Based on those clues, Ketut Putra Yasa then worked on the statue. “After long enough time, the statue of Nyi Roro Kidul could be finished. Then, I donated it to the Campuan Windu Segara Temple. According to the temple priest, the statue should be initiated ritually on the black moon in the eighth month,” he said.

Buleleng Regency:

New Airpor t , New Hope OVERNMENT of Buleleng Regency is serious to build a new airport in the region. Having signed the MoU, a number of relevant officials in Buleleng began making various efforts, including studies to minimize the negative impacts of the project. Spokesperson of Buleleng Regency Government, Made Juniadi, said on Monday (Jan 31), the airport project was actually a strategic breakthrough for the government of Buleleng Regency to become a developed region. In the future, the airport would answer the transportation problem as well as open the accessibility of the public in all areas. Even, it would not only be felt by the Buleleng society but also by Balinese society in general. The new airport would certainly encourage the new hope for the people of North Bali in order keep pace in the economic growth with the South ern Bali. According to Juniadi, construction of the international airport needed a prior specific in-depth study. The study itself did not only examine the

economic and agricultural impact, but also in terms of geological, physical, biological, sociological, economic and cultural aspect. It was explained that Buleleng was very appropriate for the development of international airport since the land required for the project reached around 1,000 hectares and Buleleng had about 43,000 hectares of dry land or unproductive land for agriculture. Therefore, it was worth using for development sector. According to him, the international airport development would inevitably lead to negative risks. However, it was estimated to have a greater positive impact. One of them was opening market opportunities for local products such as that of agriculture, small and medium industries, marine and others. “On that account, the society should not think a priori against the risks that may occur. But, let realize the security and public order so that the airport development plan can be realized accordingly,” he said. B N (BTN/kmb)

For that purpose, Bagiada as the head of the region continued to emphasize to his staff and policy makers to understand about this matter. In the context of tourism potential, Bagiada said that Buleleng Regency retained a great potential that could be developed and brought in many tourists. “We indeed should perform more promotions. However, we are unnecessary to do it overseas, but in the Bali Province is enough,” he said. Many tourist objects in Buleleng have become a favorite destination since long time ago, but they went through a decline from day to day. Indeed, it must be worked on through special strategy and synergy involving the government, tourism industry and the community. (BTN/055) B N

However, the management should be mutually supportive. “Development and operation of the cruise wharf should be encouraged more quickly. If funding from the central government is hampered, it must be pursued continuously,” he explained.

The agricultural development in wider sense should

not make it merely an object. Local farmers should really be empowered and provided with assistance. On that account, they were capable of producing the agricultural products worth selling and could be absorbed. “Farmers should not only be asked to produce, they actually require assistance until marketing their products,” he said. So far, the development of organic agriculture was very promising. However, the vision

normal day, the number of tourists visit was between 4,000-5,000 people per day. But, during peak season the number could increase to several folds. “In the peak season like Lebaran and New Year period the number of tourist visit to Tanah Lot can reach 24,000 people a day,” he explained.

“

One of the ways is by proposing a revision in admission fees of the objects as efforts to increase the financing source for quality improvement. Most importantly is improving the quality of service provided by the employees,” said the Operation Manager of Tanah Lot Tourist Object, Made Sujana, recently. According to Sujana, his party had discussed about the revision in admission fees informally with the government. In the near future, his party would re-submit the request for discussing the matter. Meanwhile, the current admission fee was IDR 5,000-10,000. Children were only charged at IDR 5,000, domestic tourist (IDR 7,500) and foreign tourist (IDR 10,000). “We will conduct a management meeting because the admission fees belong to the authority of local government. Management only serves as the operator, while magnitude of the admission fee is determined by government,” he added. Sujana said that government had given a positive sign against the initiative of the operator to revise the admission fees. Government realized that it is time for Tanah Lot to focus on the service quality rather than quantity. “If wishing a better service, there should be a price to be paid, so the quality of tourists coming will be selected too,” he said. He added that the number of tourist visits last year to Tanah Lot reached 2.145 million. Among those visitors, 36.9 percent of them were foreign tourists and the remaining 63.1 percent were domestic tourists. This year, operator of the Tanah Lot Tourist Object would only set up a target growth of 5 percent. The policy was taken because the object had been experiencing over-capacity up to 10 percent. “Ideally, this tourist attraction is only visited by 1.7 to 2 million,” he added. As operator of the object, his party was very pleased to have an increasing visit, but they aware of what would happen if the visit exceeded the ideal number without adding facilities. On that account, his party would restrict the number of visits. On a

AlamKulKul Boutique Resort would like to announce that that the health and safety of in-house guests is always our foremost concern. Therefore, all necessary precautions are taken to ensure that the resort is maintained to the highest international standards.

Our most recent batch of testing dated 28th October 2010 concluded that samples from the pool and air-conditioning system were negative for any harmful viruses including legionella, which can result in Legionnaires disease. These tests were carried out by the Labratorium Kesehatan Masyarakyat (Community Health Lab) at Udayana University based on Australian and New Zealand standard testing methods (1998). lt is most unfortunate that a number of Australian tourists have returned home from Bali with suspected Legionnaires disease.

The Center of Tourism

Nungnung waterfalls have increased in popularity for French and German visitors to Bali. The waterfalls are located near the village of Plaga in the area of Petang, Northern Badung. The way down to the source of the water is about 50 meters and used to be very difficult and steep. But now it can be easily reached through hundreds of concrete stairs. The idea to build these stairs was initiated by the people who live in the neighborhood in cooperation with the government. It takes about 60 minutes (40 km) from Denpasar to get to the location of the waterfalls by bus. Walking up and down the stairs is not as tiring as it sounds, thanks to the cool air in the mountain which makes the body fresh, as does the surrounding panorama.

While having a rest we can breath the fresh air and enjoy the beautiful scenery, which soon drives away all feelings of fatigue. Not far from the waterfalls, visitors can see the process of making wooden statues in Banjar Kerta, and in Banjar Sekarmukti, Plaga. They can observe traditional and modern painters in Banjar Batulantang or gold and silver handicraft artists and songket weavers in Carangsari Village. If visitors want to take a rest or spend a night, they can make use of the bungalows in the village of Plaga. The weather in Plaga village is cold. It is geographically similar to Kintamani and Bedugul since the village is located next to the two resorts, which have been famous for a lot longer. Food, drink and bathing are not a problem in the Plaga bungalows since everything is available. After having a rest visitors may continue the trip from Plaga village to Kintamani in the east or Bedugul in the west.

Trekking in Badung The local government of Badung has made several attempts to attract tourists to visit northern Badung. In fact, the mountainous atmosphere in northern Badung is worth seeing and is of no less beauty than Bedugul or Kintamani. In the Petang district of northern Badung which includes Pelaga and Belok Sidan villages, the weather is cool. There is also Nungnung waterfall and thriving vegetable and flower plantation in Banjar Lawak. The interesting and attractive attraction, nature trekking, has been developed for the last three years in Petang village. It starts from Banjar Kerta, then four kilometers of undulating hills with fantastic views culminating at a hill-top 700 meters above sea level. The view from Pucak Tedung temple on the summit is marvelous. If the sky is clear, the Indian Ocean can be seen in the distance. At the top of the hill, tourists can enjoy rice or breads prepared by the committee. There are also masseurs to help

relax those suffering from muscular pain. Each participant is charged Rp. 400.000. Equipment is available, such as raincoats, mineral water and walking sticks. On route, the participant is requested not to use any indecent words, such as curses and obscenities, or negative thoughts. Made Sukanta accompanied by the Director of Badung Tourism Office, Ngurah Oka Darmawan, said that this stroll could be regarded as spiritual trip since it passes by a number of temples: Taman, Marga Tiga and Puncak Tedung temples. According to I Made Sukanta, the owner of Waka Gangga Trekking, Badung Tourism Office welcomes his trekking enterprise and promises to promote it. Since the establishment of this strolling activity in July 1997, an average of 70 tourists, mostly Europeans, come to Petang to indulge in the trekking. From Denpasar to the north, to the Waka Gangga Trekking center in Petang village, it is about 30 kilometers away or 45 minutes on bus. On route, tourists can be

All villagers were frighteningly because of the appearance of Bad king Maya Denawa, and ran away from the village at that time. God Vishnu of water saw confusion of people on Sebatu village.

Australian Rudie Kuiter, author of the definitive guide to Indonesian Reef Fishes, estimates that some 400 species of reef fishes live on the wreck, which is also visited by perhaps 100 species of pelagics. These are remarkable numbers for an area just 100 meters long. Sometimes called Paradise Reef, this place is full of surprises, ribbon ells, mimic octopus, boxer crabs, ghost pipefish, seahorse, leaf fish, garden eels, lion fish, harlequin shrimp are among the unusual marine lives found here. Underwater photographers dive here more than 5 times a day and they still find the place so interesting. A generally shallow dive, from 3m down to 15m, although there are some interesting species like” Steene’s Dottyback” which lives at 55m. The wreck always crowded with schools of Jack Fish, hundreds of them, and they are so friendly. There were also have a variety of nudibranchs, the “naked gilled” sea slugs, are the most interesting to the diver in Tulamben. Like common garden slugs, they are snail-like animals hat have lost their shells. Nudibranchs are often stringly colored, carnivorous, and most are very prey specific, feeding for only on particular types of soft coral or sponges. Since these prey animals are often very colorful, so are the nudibranchs. Flatworms often have strikingly beautiful colors divers associate with nudibranchs, which are mollusks. They move by gliding over the bottom, or by muscular undulations. This latter waving action is characteristic, and mimicked by the juveniles of several species of fish. This mimicry and the bright colors suggest the presence of a noxious chemical to deter predator. (BTN/ist)

Tabanan Regency Rainbow over ricefields

Tabanan is the name of one district and town in Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a tourist town there are still some interesting aspects to it. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch were fighting over control of the island. One of the more positive historical points of interest is the Subak Museum, located close to the main bypass road. While the museum itself is nothing special, it documents one of the most important social/economic/cultural institutions in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to 600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-

Golf Course in Rocky Stones Area BANGLI Peace and harmony

Minister of Culture and Tourism Jero Wacik is accompanied by the Regent of Bangli Made Gianyar when paying a visit to the Mount Batur. (BTN/kmb) THERE will be something new in Bangli Regency. What is it? It is the amazing golf course spreading in the middle of the exotic volcanic rocks vomited some decades ago with the picturesque backdrop of Mount Batur. Well, here will be established a golf course as an additional facility for the tourist object of Kintamani, Lake Batur, Mount Batur, Trunyan and other parts around the exquisite destination. Wow! Of course, it will be truly fantastic if it can be immediately realized. Such an inspiration emerged when the Minister of Culture and Tourism Jro Wacik paid a visit to the destination and met the Regent of Bangli Made Gianyar on Thursday (Jan 13).

Meanwhile, the feasibility study for the development of Mount Batur Geopark is in progress. The area is being targeted by the UNESCO to be promoted into a geopark region. If the idea can have been realized the tourists coming to Bali will not only spend holidays, but also perform a study because the soil here has uniqueness of its own. It has a history and will give direct impact to the surrounding community. The most important thing in this project is to keep on preserving the environment and the waste generated can be processed properly. “And the no less important is always making coordination with the local spiritual leaders such as Jero Gede Duwuran and Jero Gede Alitan as well as considering and maintaining the sanctity of the temples and environment because the Lake Batur is sanctified by the Hindus in Bali for the interests of religious ceremonies,” affirmed Jro Wacik.

Come to Tulamben Dive in the Liberty Wreck Dive in the Liberty wreck is one best reason divers come to Tulamben. It’s just 30 meters from the beach at Tulamben, a World War I—era cargo ship, broken up but impressively large, stretching along more than 100 meters of steeply sloping sand. The top of the wreck is just 3 meters underwater; the bottom is at 29 meters. The history of this wreck was start from January 11, 1942. This ship was hit by torpedoes from a Japanese submarine while crossing the Lombok Strait. The damage was critical, but two destroyers hitched up to the ship and tried to tow it the port at Singaraja, North Bali. The wounded cargo ship was taking on too much water, however, and her crew ran the vessel up on to the beach at Tulamben. There she stayed until 1963 and were in the process of cutting her up for scrapt when Mount Agung exploded in 1963. The explosion was disastrous, killing thousands and destroying vast tracts of fertile Riceland to the south. It also pushed the Liberty off the beach to its present location, in the process splitting the hull in two. The wreck of the Liberty lies parrarel to the shore on a steep sand slope, part of the super-structure in within snorkeling distance from the surface. The hulk is

mechanized rice cultivation and water management. Bali’s ability to produce an endless supply of rice year round is central to its history. The Subak controls management of the watercourses, stretching all the way to the highland lakes. A farmer cannot simply flood all his fields at the same time, or divert a main stream to access more water. The system is intricate and the Subak museum is the place where it’s officially documented. Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian to the west are beach environments around the area. Highlights of the area close to Tabanan include Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) in Wanasari and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura Tanah Lot is a 15-minute drive South from Tabanan. Tanah Lot Tanah Lot, one of the most popular places of interest in Bali, is located on the coast of West Bali, at the village of Beraban in the Tabanan Regency. It is also called Tanah Let, which means ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, which mean the land to the south. The temple Pura Tanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dramatic in its ocean-front location and is one of the main temples in the worship of Balinese gods. Tanah Lot has a long history in the world of tourism. The temple itself is built on a small promontory, which is only accessible at low tide. During high water the rock takes on the appearance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape. Poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to ‘guard’the temple and contribute to the temple’s dangerous reputation. Sunset is the best time to visit Tanah lot, when the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into the rocks. It is advisable to avoid the tourist crush here, as it can be severe.

WHERE TO GO . . .

Klungkung, the Smallest Regency on the Island

KLUNGKUNG Ancient Kingdoms

This is the smallest regency in Bali. It covers only 121 square kilometers and includes three islands, Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan. Despite its size, its influence on Balinese culture has been powerful. It was here, in the shadow of the holy volcano Agung, that the princes and priests of Majapahit gathered in 1343 to continue the kingdom by setting up ‘Keraton’ in Samprangan, but within a couple of generations, they moved to Gelgel and then to Klungkung, in 1710. In the 16th century the Gods smiled on Gelgel when Dalem Baturenggong reached an impressive political and cultural achievement to earn his ‘golden age’ Kertha Gosa, which is situated in the central town of Semarapura, was the place for administration and traditional justice in the pre-colonial times by a council consisting of the great king and his priests. Next to the Kertha Gosa is Taman Gili, known as a Floating House (Bale Kambang) which was the King’s Guard’s headquarters. These two buildings are decorated with

Kamasan Traditional Paintings. A colonial building, located next to these two buildings, is Semarajaya Museum, collecting some handicraft of Klungkung, pre-historic and historic articles especially those used in the period of Klungkung’s heroic battle. In the southern part of the museum area, there stands the main gate of Semarapura Palace ‘Pemedal Agung’. The newest sight in Semarapura Town is Patung Kandapat Sari, situated at the main junction of Semarapura town. Some people consider this statue as the landmark of Klungkung Regency. Next to this landmark stands an historical monument known as Monument of Klungkung Heroic Battle. This monument is a cenotaph reminiscent of an event that once took place on April 28, 1908. It is well known as ‘Puputan’, a counter-defence of The Great King of Klungkung against the Dutch soldiers. Moving south of Semarapura town along the main road, one will arrive at the ‘under construction’ area of Tourism Villages, home of traditional Painting, Kamasan Village and Bali’s original capital, Gelgel.

Taxi Choosing a taxi in Bali is easy but difficult. It is considered easy because there are many taxi companies operating on the Island of the Gods, especially in Denpasar. However, it is hard to find a taxi with good service. Sometimes the taxi driver takes his passenger to go round, or pretends that he does not know the routes. Consequently, the routes turn further and the fare amazingly increases. To avoid this, some tips below may help you get a nice and safe taxi.

If you must take any of their services, make sure you establish the price up front. 6. There are licenced taxis at Bali’s Airport. Avoid taking services from “brokers” who offer you transportation.
