Today,
I am very glad to inform you one of interesting place to visit in Bali
called traditional village of Penglipuran. This village can be reached
throught roads connecting district of Bangli with Kintamani. Penglipuran
villlage is well-known for its 75 hectare bamboo forest located in the
northern part of the village. From Bangli town to the north up to Kubu
Village about 5 kilometers, then have a left turn, one will arrive at
Penglipuran and will be received with warm welcome by the villagers. The
air is fresh because it is located at 700 meters above sea level. From
historical point of view, according to the village elders,
Penglipuran village is well-known for its tidy row of traditional
Balinese entrance gates and its unique architectural traditions. The
words Penglipuran’ is drived from the words “Pengeling Pura” means a
holy place for remembering their ancestors. It is reasonable since their
ancestors came from Bayung Gede village, still In Kintamani district.
Since from Bayung Gede to Penglipuran is quite along distance there fore
the people of Penglipuran, established the same temple as the temple In
Bayung Gede.
We can drow conclusion from this matter that the people of
Penglipuran is still remembering their origin. Another opinion stated
that Penglipuran is derived from the word “Penglipuran” means relaxation
since on the royal period this place was a good spot for resting
place.This village has cultural potency which is up to the present time
still well preserved in the from of traditional Balinese buildings;
which differentiate this village from others.The population is 743
person, most of them are farmers and just few as civil servants. Dances
and handicrafts are well developed in this remote village.
Members of the “Desa Adat” village institution have played a
consistent role from generation to generation in this preservation since
they have a strong commitment to the system of “ayahan desa” - a
philosophy committed to respecting the land on which the village stands.
A portion of the “desa adat” are known as “krama pengarep”, or
privileged members. Each of them is given an eight-acre house yard,
40-acres of agricultural land, 70-acres of bamboo forest, 60-acres of
riverside irrigation, and 25-acres of rice field.
I hope above story will add your reference before visiting our
beautiful Island of Bali. If you wish you can share this story to your
family, friends and your collegues. Thank you for reading my story.
