Tenganan
Tenganan
village is located just west of Candi Dasa. This is one
of the homes of the Bali Aga (original Balinese), the first
population of Bali. The Tengananese believe they have been
chosen to honor the royal family by offering sacrifices
and rituals, and by managing the neighboring lands.
Recently the society has opened itself
up to outsiders, although strict rules still apply, especially
concerning marriage to outsiders. Tenganan features wonderful
fabrics, one of the most renowned is gringsing double weave
ikat cloth.
