Bali - Tenganan

While Candidasa does not provide glamorous beaches like the beach towns at the southern part of the Bali Island, it offers different kind of relaxation and enjoyment.

The main attraction for more cultural-minded travelers can be the cultural attractions in the form of water palace at the center of the town and of course Tenganan village.

Tenganan village is a Bali Aga community that still guards the age-long tradition inherited from their ancestors. The people are much older than the current, dominant Balinese that scattered around the Island of the Gods. Bali Aga people still maintains the cosmology, ancestor worships and other animist beliefs. Their language is even different from other Bali Aga community who inhabit the famous Trunyan village at the shore of Lake Batur. So secluded the village is that after dark there is nobody allowed to be outside, including its own inhabitants. They have, however, pura or temple, the most important of which is Pura Puseh (temple or origin) outside the walls of the village.

Although they are secluded in their village, Tenganan people are remarkable when it comes to craft. The most well-known works of this people is their ikat fabric called Geringsing. This fabric can be very expensive in the international market as the ethnic atmosphere presents very deep in the fabric. Other cultural attraction is the blood sacrifice. This comes in the form of ritual combat where the combatants use thorny pandanus. The weapon is slapped to the bodies of the enemy and the resulting blood is seen as the offering to the ancestors and the gods.
