People know as the island of Bali with the exotic beauty of nature and art and culture of extremes. No wonder if many of us find the unique island of a million in the shrine is already famous all over the world.
During this time people know Bali as marine and coastal tourism, but the fact is there is one place that still preserve the Balinese culture from generation to generation since the times of the ancestors. Many things that we can learn that loaded with traditional values this. Bangli is the only district in Bali does not have a tour of the beach.
However, a number of tourist objects that are not less good in this place. One Penglipuran Traditional Village which is located in Jalan Raya-Kintamani Bangli, Bangli, or 45 kilometers from Denpasar City.
Penglipuran have two of the pangeling basically eling the word means' remember '. While, ostensibly means' ancestral land '. So penglipuran means' land because the ancestors'. Or the word can also refer penglipur as a consolation.
Desa Adat Penglipuran broad reach 112 hectares, consists of 37 hectares of bamboo forest that local people used to craft the system tebang select, field of 49 hectares, for housing and population of 12 hectares.
The village is very clean and the air is very cool. Topographic slope villages from north to south. Channel regulation parks and clean water make this village never flood. Main street village but did not use asphalt from the stone-rock mountain with a modified or paving stones conblock.
Villages arranged neatly so that the two forms have kaveling the front of the same material made from ground to the roof and walls using bamboo. Enough to endure it berlama-long stay in this place.
The uniqueness of the other village this is the same broad kaveling have between 8 and 11 are. Land is a heritage of ancestors divided the east and west respectively 38 kaveling. The life of society is also heterogeneous, with some working as farmers, civil servants, laborers, and crafter.
Spatial village no less interesting that the macro divided into three parts called the tri mandala. Spatial concept in Hindu religion, its meaning is a three-part or three rooms that have three or function of different purity.
Orientasinya physical condition of the north south (in Bali means Kaja Klod) more simple or more high-low (Ulu teben). From that concept, then the most northern village in a place that is holy Pura Bale Agung (upgrading) which is the main concept of the mandala is located in the north direction as a Hindu nation. Then the concept of the second mandala, called medium mandala.
This is a place in the area of settlement divided into two series, namely the west and east. While the third is the place where the stigma mandala least that is the location that is used for graves or people call Bali as Setra. Layout such as this was also applied in each village the local people's house.
Each kaveling home residents, the concept of each house built angkul-angkul or the gate is one of the entrance at once seen as the building concierge home front.
When holy day, made offerings at this place. No wonder if the whole community in the village is the same, namely the front of the sanggah or mrajan as the main theater of the family members used to worship. Then the whole house facing east as the sunrise.
In every building there is a house of empty space called a page (natah) as a place to gather members located in the middle (average). While the stigma mandala is usually filled with a toilet, the laundry, or facilities, or economic activities such as stalls, cattle pens, and so forth.
"Every nation that has a Hindu home usually berarsitektur Bali following the layout like this. As each room of the gods who reside there," said Kelian Adat Village Penglipuran, Wayan Supat.
To maintain the ancestral heritage from generation to generation, the inheritance Supat hope this will still continue to run until the children and grandchildren soon.
"We as a generation of young people driving old and so will be like this. During the concept of preservation of tradition is still relevant during the period in human life," sebutnya.
In Hindu teachings have a concept of preserving the concept of village kalapatra. Kala means time, while the mean Patra. So is kalapatra situation will change in the place where and when the time. No wonder many tourists who are interested to come to a traditional village since 1993 began to promote local government as a tourism destination.
Unfortunately, this village does not provide a place of accommodation or stay home to accommodate the tourists to bertinggal longer in the village that is cool and healthy. Uniqueness of others, you will not find a trash can on the main road is the Village People Penglipuran.
This is because of the rules (awig-awig) to each citizen to sweep twice a day every morning and evening. Obligations that must be obeyed is a crop of grass in the park the road twice a month. If it is not obeyed, Rp10.000 fines will be applied.
Although dendanya be regarded not too large, so far there are no citizens who violate and more obedient to the rules are. This is because people ditanamkan cultural shame if it does not obey the rules and deserves to serve as the pilot area health tourism destination.
For the tourists who come, the local government allowed to enter with the ticket price is very cheap and affordable. Mature enough to pay Rp2.500, while for large anakanak Rp1.500.Sebagian that foreign tourists are coming to do with the coolness of a society and teraturnya Village People Penglipuran.
