Penglipuran
Traditional Village
This village can be reached
through roads connecting district of Bangli with Kintamani. 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, 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'mean
'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.
