Tenganan
Tenganan’s religious culture, Sekta Indra, an ancient sect of
Hinduisme, has been maintained thtrough steadfast comitment to
costum and ceremonies. Indeed, steadfastness is a hallmark of
the vilage, which, nestled in the embrace of sourrounding
foothills, was able to resist foreign conquest by neighboring
vilages and Kingdom. Today, outside influences have
increasingly penetrated the core of Tenganese life, often
conflicting with traditional ethichs and treatening the
once-strong social fabric. Many Tenganese now find themselves
forn between pressures of modernity and consumerisme and the
old wisdom of their parents and ancestors.
Thankfully, a few young people have realized the value of
Tenganan’s traditions and have committed to revitalizing these
practices before they are irreparably lost
Bali remained independent up to the 14th century,
when it was finally subjugated by the powerful Javanese kings.
However, some villages refused to adopt the religious and
social customs of the Javanese. These people are now known as
the Bali Aga, which means "original Balinese". Their
villages remained isolated and thus became a culturally
distinct minority. Tenganan village in east Bali is on of the
best preserved of the Bali Aga villages. According to a rather
colorful legend, the current village was founded in the 14th
century, when the ruler of Bali King Bedaulu, lost his
favorite horse. He offered a reward for the horse's return,
and the animal was eventually found dead near Tenganan. The
villagers asked to be granted land as a reward.
The
King sent a minister to oversee the demarcation of the
village, and instructed him to include all of the land where
the dead horse could be smelled. The minister was accompanied
on his duties by the village chief, who had cleverly hidden
some of the rotting horse flesh in his clothes. Thus, the
boundaries of the new village were quite generous indeed. The
village is laid out in a mainly linear fashion, climbing up
the side of the mountain. The main street of the village
consists of a series of terraces linked by ramps. Many trees
dot the street, which is partially cobbled. Public meeting
places can be seen along the street, consisting of open
pavilions. Houses present a fairly blank face to the street,
but after climbing the stairs to a house and entered the door,
you're likely to find yourself in an open courtyard surrounded
by living and working areas.

Pejeng
Pak Tjok
Agung Pemayun known as Pak Tjok is developing programs in his
village of Pejeng to build the local economy and community in
ways that are sustainable and not dependent on tourism. After
the terrorist bombings in 2002 and 2005, the Balinese economy
has struggled, especially in areas outside of the main tourist
centers. Pejeng is one of the oldest inhabited parts of the
island and tourists do come to visit the old temples and
archaeological sites, but it doesn’t receive the overwhelming
visitation and tourist money like nearby Ubud. |

|

Pak Tjok has offered land near a temple in the center of the
village for visitors to come and support local programs for
reforestation, organic agriculture, education and other
community projects. A large focus is growing natural dyes such
as indigo for Pak Tjok’s well-known batik studio where he
employs several villagers to make beautiful batiks with these
all natural dyes. They are currently seeking funds to finish a
building that will house a library, computer, and rooms for
visitors who can teach english or other skills as they learn
about batik and help with the other projects

Natural Batik Studio in Pejeng
Batik is a resist dyeing process in which patterns are
drawn or stamped on a peice of cloth with melted wax. When
the wax sets it acts as a dye-resist, so that the waxed
parts of the cloth remain unaffected by the dyes. The wax
is then removed, usually by boiling the cloth, and the
process is repeated over and over again until the desired
pattern is achieved. There are two main methods to apply
the wax: by hand, using a special tool for drawing with
melted wax called a canting (pronounced "chanting") and
with a copper stamp, called a cap (pronounced "chop"). In
some cases both techniques are used on the same cloth to
obtain the desired pattern. Traditionally the canting is
used by women and men use the cap

ATBM textile in Gianyar
Gianyar
was the centre of the biggest producers of woven cloth in
Bali. There were several big weaving factories in the city
.
A unique experience can be obtained if you make a visit to
one of those weaving factories in Gianyar. As soon as
entering the gate, you will hear somewhat bizarre music.
If you trace it carefully it’s the hit of non-mechanical
weaving tools (ATBM) operated by women weavers.
Having observed the diligent women busy weaving, you may
also purchase their works displayed at the showroom of
each respective factory |

Songket & Endek Weavers from Sidemen
Endek is weft ikat from Bali, which means that the pattern
of the cloth is determined by the weft threads. Endek
textiles have a long history of being associated with
royalty, but modern production techniques have allowed
endek textiles to be produced in greater quantities and
are now widely available. Songket is a term which refers
to cloths with supplementary weft threads, often metallic.
Songket textiles are often stunning examples of the
weaver's art. It is a term used to describe those textiles
which are decorated with intricate patterns during a
secondary weaving process. The production process can
involve entire families or work groups. This technique is
a very complicated and time-consuming production process.
Even expert weavers usually refer to samples of existing
cloth in order to properly "program" the setup of the
looms. The results are spectacular and may be often seen
when visiting Bali. These cloths are used in ceremonies
and for decorating ritual spaces. As is customary in Bali,
these textiles are never tailored, but rather are
creatively draped, wrapped or tied around the body.
Tenganan Pegringsingan
Geringsing, or double-ikat and it is perhaps the most
sought after. This is when both the warp and weft threads
are dyed to their final designs before being woven
together. With the exception of certain areas in India and
Japan, this weaving technique can only be found in the
small Bali Aga village of Tenganan, East Bali
