Trunyan Village
The village of Trunyan lies on the bank of Lake Batur or on
the west foot of Abang Hill of Kintamani District. It is a village
inhabited by the "origins" of Bali Aga with its unique cultural
aspects. This village is attainable only by boat from Kedisan
Village, crossing along Lake Batur in 30 minutes. The name of
Trunyan is derived from the word "Taru" and "Menyan" the smells
of a fragrant tree of incense which grows in that village. The
villagers consider that the tree is very important because the
corpses of the dead person are just laid down on the open grave
under the tree and left the faces open; where as their bodies
are simply covered by white clothes, surrounded by ' ancak saji'.
The method of burying corpses is called "Mepasah". |
Kehen
Temple
Kehen Temple is one of ancient temples in Bali where were housed
three old bronze made manuscripts. This temple is worshipped
by the people around the village. The ceremony takes place on
Rabu Kliwon Shinta where Ngusabha ceremony is held one in a
three years period, which falls on Purnama kelima around November.
This temple is located |
 |
| on
the southern slope of Bangli hill about two kilometers from
the town. It is really an historical temple worth visiting with
a long plight of steps pointing down to the South. It can be
reached by any mode of transports though a well kept asphalt
road, or a short walk from Bangli cultural hall. |
