Chairman of Samas, I Dewa Made Mertakota, said the programposed an effort to minimize the effects of global warming throughbicycling activities. In addition, the program was also intended toshore up the government’s program namely realizing a clean andgreen city. The program invited students to use bicycle as a modeof transportation to school. Mertakota revealed the matter on thesidelines of the program launching at the office of BNI Renon,Denpasar on Friday (Oct 28).

Mertakota explained the program targeted the students studyingin junior high, senior high and vocational high school. Those stu-dents selected as the target of the program because at those agesthey were not qualified to have a driving license so the rate of acci-dents afflicting students was high enough. Similarly, the programwas aimed to reduce traffic congestion. His party expected the pro-gram could grow the awareness of students to take advantage ofcycling, so that in years to come there would be more and morebikes milling about in the streets, not vehicles, added Merthakota.

of people accompanied the corpse to thegrave of Dalem Puri Ubud, about two kilo-meters from Peliatan Royal Palace. Otherthan relatives, a number of officials of BaliProvince, Bali Police, Armed Forces,Gianyar Regency, kings of Solo and Baliup to community leaders in Bali and Gianyarin particular were also present to accompanythe deceased to the cemetery.

Atmosphere of the Peliatan Royal Pal-ace and along the roads to the cemeteryhad been filled with thousands of residentsfrom the early morning. Domestic and for-eign tourists were also present to witnesssuch cremation procession that had beenprepared since three months ago. Crema-tion procession of the King of Peliatan IXwas categorized to be grandiose enoughthroughout the implementation of the samecremation in Ubud. This could be seenfrom the pickup of Naga Banda paraphernalia in the pro-cession some time ago to the clan temple of Ubud RoyalPalace by using two elephants ridden by the Crown Prince,Cokorda Putra Nindia. It was then followed by vehicle ofcremation in the form of bade tower with the height of25.5 meters and a weight of 10 tons as well as bull sar-cophagus with the height of 8 meters. Such height causedthe electrical cable along the road passed through to betemporarily disconnected.

Thousands of People Took Part inThe Cremation of King of Peliatan IX

The whole procession of cremation started from the morn-ing. Procession was performed in the semanggen (wherethe corpse laid down) and in the ritual paraphernalia in theform of bade tower and bull sarcophagus. Then, the NagaBanda (dragon) that previously placed at the semanggenwas then taken out, followed by raising the body to badetower through bamboo stairs. Furthermore, the Naga Bandasymbolized the escort of the spirit of the King of PeliatanIX where the bowing procession was carried out by Ida

CREMATION—Thousands of people accompanied the cremation of theKing of Peliatan IX, Tuesday (Nov 2).

OR I Ketut Budha, hisposition as GeneralManager of Jayakarta

Bali Beach Resort, Residence &Spa poses a challenge. A wealth ofworking experience in the field ofhospitality deeply involved since1978 was considered not to guar-antee the success of the task com-pleted. However, the man ofDenpasar-born on May 14, 1957,always gets excited.

In harmony with the tourismcontinued to flourish, he had to im-prove his knowledge as well, par-ticularly in tourism. Thus, he ex-plained when met at his office notlong ago.

Most importantly was, contin-ued Budha, provided sincere ser-vices from the very bottom of theheart to every single guest. There-fore, the awareness of tourismworkers needed growing. “Em-ployees of Jayakarta actively com-mit yoga exercise every Saturday.It was intended to cultivate the lov-ing-kindness of their heart, so theycould really provide services fromthe heart,” said Budha while add-ing that all employees put onFriendly Pin to remind of such af-fection.

The understanding on the hotelas a field to earn life was alwaysimplanted. When they had accom-plished their work well it would en-gender good result, too. In essence,we need to make an approach tothe employees because they playeda role as vanguard in providing

Inviting Residents to EnjoySweetness of Tourism

imagery to the product, he added.And most importantly was continu-ing to provide education throughtraining simultaneously.

Nevertheless, Budha said thatpromotion was also necessary to at-tract new markets. So far, promo-tion was often performed throughthe Jayakarta Group, such as byperforming road shows to theInternationale Tourismusborse(ITB) Berlin, ITB Asia, Pacific AsiaTravel Association (PATA),ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) andsome others. The purpose of thesecampaigns was to sell the existing9 properties under Jayakarta Group.However, Jayakarta Bali playedmore important roles in the promo-tion because Bali had been wellknown out there, he said seriously.

According to him, the targetedmarket was mixed markets such asAustralia, Europe, Japan, Russiaand domestic. However, theJayakarta Bali Hotel with 278 roomsand 73 residences (1-bed room, 2and 3-bed room) was dominated byAustralian tourists since 1983. Outof 75 percent of foreign tourists, 55percent of them were Australiantourists. He was grateful that fromJanuary to November 2010, the oc-cupancy of Jayakarta Hotel aver-agely reached 90 percent, he added.

Previously, occupancy of thehotel was very low, so he was thenassigned in Bali. Budha made ap-proach to travel agents to establishand strengthen his co-operation. Hecontinued to improve quality and

Ketut Budha

provide motivation for employeesin providing excellent services toall guests. Such efforts were thenyielded results in the form of newrepeater guests coming up to threetimes a year. Frequent guests werealso given some conveniences suchas free welcome drink, while re-peater guests were entitled to getattractive bonuses, such as free din-ner and free accommodation, he

added.Prior to occupying the position

as GM of The JayakartaYogyakarta Hotel & Spa (2001-2007), Ketut Budha also continu-ously maintained the relationshipwith local communities, such as byjoining mutual assistance, givingdonation to the construction oftemple and others. Meanwhile, hisparty also carried out mutual assis-

tance through clean-up activities onthe beach in front of the hotel to-gether with hawkers every Friday.Such an approach almost found noobstacles because he previously hadtime to become an Executive As-sistant Manager at the JayakartaBali (Mar-Jun 2001).

In the meantime, his party alsoprovided opportunity for people totake part, such as involving peopleat every BBQ, Bali Night eventwith a variety of cultural perfor-mances. Local community was alsoallowed to do selling in the hotelarea during the Bali Night at freeof charge. By doing so, local peoplecould enjoy the sweetness of tour-ism directly, said Budha.

HAVE you not been to Peliatan Village? If you have not,simply come to it. If you have, of course you could feel theprofound nuances of Balinese culture. Peliatan Village isone of the cultural tourist destinations visited by many for-eign tourists as well as domestic tourists.

The tourists making a visit usually come to buy assortedhandicrafts or to watch beautiful cultural performance oftenorganized at Peliatan Village. This village is located veryclose to Ubud, only about 2 km. It belongs to Ubud subdis-trict. From Denpasar, Peliatan is approximately 22 km or 10km in the west of Gianyar town where the road access to thevillage has been quite nice and smooth.

Peliatan Village is one of the quite densely populated vil-lages in Bali. At this present time, most villagers of Peliatanno longer have land to be cultivated, so they turn their live-lihoods to the other sectors considered more likely to meettheir daily needs. Such condition is influenced by the rapiddevelopment of tourism industry in Bali, where PeliatanVillage is one of tourist destinations in Gianyar Regencyhighlighting sublime culture and folk crafts.

The village has excellent potential in the field of arts andis better known as the storehouse of the artists. Its arts likedance, sculpture, carving, and painting have been growingand developing flourishingly. Additionally, the village re-tains many craft centers, too.

Even, Peliatan Village has been very popular with the art ofgamelan music and dance. Since 1931, the dance troupes of thevillage have roamed around the globe to various countries, suchas a visit to Paris under leadership of A.A. Gde Mandra (GungKak), to America in 1951 and 1989 and to Australia in 1971, todemonstrate various dances. Moreover, many Westerners con-sider Peliatan as the home of legendary legong dance having ahigh cultural value. (BTN/014)

signifying (object) and thesignified (concept or refer-ence). In this context, photo-graph is the object, whilegrandfather is the reference.God has been universally ac-knowledged to be the mostperfect. To help concentratethe mind on God, the Hindusapply a medium like variouskinds of sanctified effigies.Each devotee has differentability to contact Him. Com-mon people may use a me-dium, while those havinghigher spiritual knowledge donot need any medium. There-fore, none is wrong and it isa freedom.

Inspired by puranic ormythological stories, manyHindu artisans in Bali man-age to make various kinds of

sculpture. When visitors hap-pened to have island excur-s ion, you may encountermany statues such as outsidethe temple, at the end of eachbridge, intersection, hotel’sgardens or even on the pave-ment on the protocol roads inDenpasar. Sacred statues areplaced in the sanctum repre-senting gods and goddess aswell as heavenly creatures,decorative statue installed incommercial premises and thelast one is statue to com-memorate the great heroes.

Statues depicting thegreat heroes can be encoun-tered in the regencies pursu-ant to their respective origin.One of the great heroes ofBali is I Gusti Ngurah Rai asthe name of local interna-tional airport. Right in theeast of the airport stands stillthe Statue of Ngurah Rai. Hewas the commander of CiungWanara troops of Bali strug-gling bit terly against theDutch colonial for the sake of

freedom.With him, there were

some other companions inarms. For instance, I GustiNgurah Bagus Sugianyar, hisstatue is strategically in-stalled in the intersection ofJalan Gatot Subroto andJalan Cokroaminoto, Ubung.As if he welcomes everyoneentering the city from outsideDenpasar and outside Balifrom the west. Then, CokordaAgung Tresna—Head ofBadung Struggle Headquar-ters. His statue is installed onthe intersect ion of JalanGatot Subroto and JalanNangka, right in the east ofSugianyar’s statue. Mean-while, Ida Bagus Putu Japawas a member of PembelaTanah Air (embryo of the In-donesian Military) immortal-ized with a statue put in theRenon roundabouts.

In the meantime,Puputan Badung Square lo-cated right in the heart ofDenpasar City also retained

statutes of other great heroes.The statues are placed in thenorthern side of the square.They depict the bi t terstruggle of the Badung King-dom against the colonial un-til their last bloodshed. Thisheroic incident occurred onSeptember 20, 1906 and nowit is celebrated as the PuputanBadung Day.

Those statues are in-tended to show an apprecia-tion over the merits of greatheroes of Bali that had dedi-cated their entire life sin-cerely for the nation. Simi-larly, they denote an educa-tional medium to introducethe heroes to younger genera-tion so they get a simple il-lustration about the heroesliving before their time. Lastbut not least, they also givegood visual impression to thearrangement of urban land-scaping and at tract ion totourists reflecting one of theartistic treasures owned byBali. (BTN/punia)BTN

The cremation procession of theKing of Peliatan IX in Ubud

ROBABLY, celebration of the 517th anniversary of Tabanan City was the most fes-tive and special. Over the past 26 days (November 4 to 29), the region of rice grana-ries organized various activities. Interestingly, all activities were not merely ceremo-

nial, but involved the community both in terms of economic, social and cultural aspect.“We are going to do a lot of activities involving the entire community,” said the Regent

of Tabanan Ni Putu Eka Wiryastuti to reporters during the press conference in her office, a

THE Telaga Tunjung weir denotes a sort of reservoir to hold water. Theweir located at Timpag Village, Kerambitan Subdistrict, Tabanan Regency,was inaugurated by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on April 28, 2007.

A security officer and spokesman of the Telaga Tunjung weir, Ida BagusKade Putrawan, who encountered at location recently, said that the extent ofthe weir area was approximately 16.5 hectares. At normal condition, it couldaccommodate water more than 1 million cubic meters.

The weir whose distance about 37 kilometers from Denpasar gets watersupply from the Ho River and Maha River. It is very useful to support theirrigation and clean water supply in the region. For irrigation purposes, itsupplies the water to hundreds of hectares of rice fields at Subak Gadungan,Subak Meliling and Subak Sungsang. Apparently, the Telaga Tunjung weir isimmensely appropriate for a tourist attraction in Tabanan. On the visit of BaliTravel News (BTN) to location in last mid-October, a few foreign and domes-tic tourists looked absorbed in delighting in the natural scenery around theweir.

Indeed, its panorama is quite beautiful. It offers a vast rice field with thebackdrop of magnificent Mount Batukaru and supported by cool climate awayfrom pollution. In the meantime, the weir itself is also taken advantage forchanneling the hobby of local residents like fishing. For the convenience ofvisitors, food and soft drink vendors have been available at location. It is veryeasy to reach the location of the weir. From Meliling Village situated atTabanan-Gilimanuk route, visitors should head northwardly about 8 kilome-ters. Unfortunately, the 8 kilometers streets are now severely damaged, soplease be careful!

few days before the event took place. According tothe Regent Eka, it was carried out as a form of car-ing and togetherness between Tabanan RegencyGovernment and local community.

The spirit of togetherness denoted an invaluablecapital in carrying out the development towards abetter future of Tabanan in achieving the Prosper-ous, Safe and Excellent Tabanan. According to theRegent Eka, Tabanan had considerable potential,both in terms of natural resources, human resourcesand cultural resources. However, those potentialscould not be fully utilized. Through the anniversaryof the city, she hoped to be able to take advantage ofthose potentials accordingly and develop them inyears to come, she added.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Anniversary Com-mittee, I Ketut Nuryasa, explained that various ac-tivities would be held, among others, vehicle emis-sions testing, praying together, painting en masse, freemedical treatment and alternative healing, eye exami-nation and free glasses, cataract surgery, parcel deliv-ery to 100 veterans, provision of free marriage cer-tificate and birth certificate for poor households aswell as reforestation.

Additionally, it would also be resumed with theactivities such as conferral of usable clothes, groundbreaking of house refurbishment for poor householdsand mass mice hunting centered in Marga Subdis-trict. Moreover, the no less interesting event wouldbe several competitions including culinary, womenbleganjur parade, dance contest of OlegTambulilingan and Joged Bumbung.

HIS painting exhibition does not only show offthe artistic expression of the artists, but alsoreveals particular meaning and purpose of the

artist to the audience and society in general. Through con-temporary-flavored style and scratches in combinationwith traditional realistic techniques as well as modernabstract realism the painter would like to recall the pasttime in the present.

It is an illustration excerpt of paintings showcased atthe Griya Santrian Gallery Sanur presenting 14 works ofart by two academic artists namely I Made Karyana and IWayan Sedanayasa. They offered unique style andscratches on canvas measuring 150 X 145 cm. Indeed,they looked similar but were actually not the same. Theexhibition itself took place for 18 days, from October 29

until November 15.In his work, Karyana featured various strengths of tra-

ditional visual inspired by typicality of Batuan, Ubud,Gianyar, in a touch of modern realistic techniques. Hisvisual streak turned to explore figurative-primitive nuance,the figure of a hunter, criticism on cultural explosion, ter-rorism, technology, and a magnifying glass scratches oncontemporary Balinese appearance and a glance into thepast times.

Scratches of his work were actually intended to expresshis artistic and creative imagination to look back the piecesof the past time as a part of the contemporary era to wel-come a better future. “Contemplating on the present timeby referring to the past and inspired by Hinduism withinthe frame of sublime art and culture, he would get ready

to face the future of Bali,” de-scribed Karyana of Gianyar-bornon January 28, 1981

Meanwhile, Sedanayasa saidthrough the creative scratches ofartwork he wanted to convey avariety of dimensions of social re-ality in contemporary life and glo-balization overwhelmed by ad-vanced technology. The scratchesof students of Ganesha EducationUniversity (Undiksha) Singarajawere artistic enough in realistic ab-stract style. He was interested inthe automotive color due to deg-radation emitted could tease theaudience.

Through the scratches of his lat-est work, Sedanayasa wanted theaudience to realize that the truebeauty of all forms in the sophisti-cated world would plunge humaninto the industrial waste. It wasvery dangerous for the life of theworld. Probably, this was the so-called pleasure bringing misery, headded. (BTN/bud)

City of Japan estab-lished cooperationin education sectorwith Denpasar,there is possibilityto develop furthercooperation, suchas cultural coopera-tion between Baliand Kyoto. Indeed,both cities have a long history andsublime cultural heritage.

It was stated by Isamu Maedaand his wife Sachiko Maeda,Wednesday (Nov 3) to Bali TravelNews (Bali Post Media Group).“Bali and Kyoto respectively havea unique and ancient history beingvery famous around the world,”said Mr. Maeda who claimed tohave forgotten how many timesthey visited Bali as it was toofrequent.”Establishment of Non-Profit Organization (NPO) inFukuoka is much easier because ithas been recorded that many Japa-nese people loving Bali in the city,”he said while mentioning somenames.

However, he added that hewould try to pioneer it in Kyotobecause according to regulations,the establishment of an NPO, ofcourse, should be accompanied bypolitical will of local government.However, considering the good re-lations preserved by Japanese andBalinese society, he had confi-dence the establishment of NPOcould gradually be materialized.“On that account, the cooperationand relations between Japan andBali will be increasingly closer,”he said.

Furthermore, they said therelationship between Japan andBali should be developed continu-ously from all sides to enhance thefriendship on both sides. “I thinkthe Kyoto and Bali is appropriateto make cooperation in culturalfield,” said Mr. Maeda.

After several trips to Bali,striking changes were seen todaynamely in the form of the extraor-dinary traffic congestion. The wayto Kuta involved in traffic conges-tion and to Ubud and Jimbaran aswell. “There are too many carshere,” he said.

It was the reason why thisJapanese couple tended tochoose the attractions that wererelatively quiet as well as hav-ing several panoramic ricefields in Gianyar. (pal)

Miss Earth Releases Turtle Hatchlings and Planting Trees in Sanurenvironment, she revealed.

Such measure of concern,continued Larissa Ramos, de-noted an effort to motivate thecommunity to take part in theconcern with the environment.There was only one PlanetEarth.

Tourism Attractions in Badung Regency

WHERE TO GO . . .

BTNNusa DuaIt means ‘two islands’ in Bahasa

Indonesia. This is one of the pre-mier resort areas in the world. Thearea is located 20 minutes south ofthe Ngurah Rai International Air-port, Denpasar and is a short driveto many of Bali’s attractions andbeautiful beaches. This is the homeof many of Bali’s world-classluxury resort hotels.

Jimbaran BeachThis area is just south of

Kedonganan beach and has a verybeautiful white sand beach area andclear seawater that is suitable for

recreation and relaxation. It is quieterthan its neighboring beaches and onewill find nice hotels and mostly sea-food served at Jimbaran’s restaurants.Jimbaran is in fact famous for its de-licious seafood, particularly its typi-cal grilled seafood with Jimbaran’s‘secret sauce’. You’ve got to taste itto believe it.

Legian, Seminyak, PetitengetBeach

These beautiful beaches are sev-eral kilometers north of Kuta. Like itsneighboring beaches, these offer arefuge for surfers. There are also manyfacilities for tourists as the result ofthe Kuta north expansion.Sangeh “Monkey Forest”

Sangeh is the village whose north-ern part covers about 14 hectares of aholy homogeny forest of ‘Pala’ treeswith hundreds of monkey inhabitants.The trees cannot be found on anyother part of Bali and their existencein this village remains a mystery. Lookfor a lovely mossy temple, which ishidden amongst the tall and gracious‘Pala’ trees.

Ayung River RaftingThe river Ayung is the longest and

largest river in Bali, and along thisriver, white water rafting was first in-troduced in Bali. To experience raft-

ing on the river Ayung’s west side isamazing, for besides the enjoymentof challenging rapids, the panoramaof this beautiful, intact nature area ishighlighted by the appearance of wildanimals along the rafting route suchas big bats, black monkeys, and more.

Uluwatu TempleAt the westernmost tip of Bukit

Peninsula, this is one of Bali’s nine‘directional’ Kayangan Jagat temples.The location is dramatic, perched onthe edge of a high cliff with a pictur-esque sunset view. The temple wasfirst used for worship by the 11th cen-tury holy priest, Empu Kuturan, whocame to Bali to bring religious lawand to form Desa Adat (traditional vil-lages). The area where spectacularsunsets can be viewed is filled withthe scent of frangipani blossoms andis also the home of friendly monkeys.

Petitenget TemplePeti Tenget temple and beach

is located at Banjar Batubelig,Kerobokan village kecamatanKuta. To reach this object by mo-tor vehicle from Denpasar, travelwestwards more or less 10 kmthen turn south, or to the northfrom Kuta following RayaSeminyak Street.

Peti Tenget temple was builtin the 15th century and it used tobe a plot of extraordinary holy(Tenget) land, bush growth anddwelled by the I Bhuta Ijo demonthat was trusted by Holy priest,Dang Hyang Nirartha to safe-guard his holy box. The story istold that when the priest stayedat south port (now Uluwatu), aman from Kerobokan villagecame asking the priest for help.He wished to cultivate the plotof land without feeling fear. Thepriest suggested that the peoplebuild a temple dedicated to god‘Labuhan Masceti’ and a singleclosed shrine (Pagedongan) forBhuta Ijo as a place to safeguardthe priest’s box (Peti). From thattime on, the temple was namedPeti Tenget Temple.

Sadha TempleThis temple, with decorative

carvings, is famous for its intricacyand ingenuity. Dating from theMajapahit period, this originallywas an old dynastic sanctuary(prasada) of Mengwi Royalty. The

split gate and a 16-meter hightower inside the temple are con-structed much like ‘Candi’ in Java.The 64 stone seats, similar to mega-lithic ancestral shrines, commemo-rate warriors who died in battle.

Taman Ayun Temple‘Taman Ayun’ means beautiful

garden, located in the village ofMengwi, 18 km west of Denpasar.It is indeed one of Bali’s most pic-

turesque temples. The king ofMengwi, I Gusti Agung Anom,built its stately proportioned court-yards and large surrounding moatin the year 1634. Containing boththe Royal family ancestral shrinesand the storied MERU shrines tothe major deities, Taman Ayun be-came the main temple for the an-cient kingdom of Mengwi.

UHA involves Employees to Clean Up Ubud AreaMore than two hundreds of hotel employees consisting of

those working in Ubud area committed a clean-up service inthe surrounding environment of Ubud, Tuesday (Sep 21), pow-ered by 37 member hotels of the Ubud Hotels Association(UHA).

“The environmental clean-up service denotes a part of theorganization’s activities while providing awareness to tourismbusiness people and the community that Ubud is one of thedestinations renowned in foreign countries.Therefore, the sani-tation becomes a must to be maintained,” revealed Duartha,Vice Chairman of UHA who is also the GM of Waka di UmeHotel.

A Sanctum and Archeological Tourist ObjectPenulisan Hill people mostly call itPucak Penulisan Temple.

Megalithic HeritagePucak Penulisan Temple does not

only serve as a place to worship thegreatness of Supreme God in themanifestation as Shiva Natha. Fromthe location with altitude of 1,745 mabove sea level, one can find thetraces of the past history of Bali.

This temple retains hundreds ofancient relics and archeological arti-facts that can give clues about thedevelopment of Bali within a fewperiods. It ranges from prehistoric

period to the era of Hindu influence.Some relics are well preserved up tonow in the Pucak Penulisan Temple,including megalithic relics such as astone with solar and lunar decoration,an embodiment of Lord Brahma,three pairs of effigies, two pairs ofphallic embodiment, a Ganesh effigy,a temple miniature symbolizing themountain as the abode of the gods orsacred spirits, and hundreds of singlephallus with different forms. Some re-main intact, while others only leave afew parts of the body. Overall, thosephalluses symbolize the Lord Shiva.

Various conclusions could be

drawn by home and foreign scien-tists in relation to the ancient relicsof the Pucak Penulisan Temple de-rived from the era of Ancient Ba-linese royal Kingdom. It is con-nected with the discovery of severalinscriptions relating to the life of Baliat that time. If tourists would like tohave a closer look at them, simplymake a visit to the temple early inthe morning and follow the rules ofentering the shrine.

Nov 12 - 25, 2010Your guide to this island

Tabanan is the name of one district and townin Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a touristtown there are still some interesting aspects toit. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch werefighting over control of the island.

One of the more positive historical pointsof interest is the Subak Museum, located closeto the main bypass road. While the museumitself is nothing special, it documents one ofthe most important social/economic/cultural in-stitutions in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-

Tabanan Regencymechanized rice cultivation and water manage-ment. Bali’s ability to produce an endless sup-ply of rice year round is central to its history.The Subak controls management of the water-courses, stretching all the way to the highlandlakes. A farmer cannot simply flood all his fieldsat the same time, or divert a main stream to ac-cess more water. The system is intricate and theSubak museum is the place where it’s officiallydocumented.

Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian tothe west are beach environments around thearea. Highlights of the area close to Tabananinclude Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) inWanasari and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura TanahLot is a 15-minute drive South from Tabanan.Tanah Lot

Tanah Lot, one of the most popular placesof interest in Bali, is located on the coast of WestBali, at the village of Beraban in the TabananRegency. It is also called Tanah Let, whichmeans ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, whichmean the land to the south. The temple PuraTanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dra-matic in its ocean-front location and is one ofthe main temples in the worship of Balinesegods.

Tanah Lot has a long history in the world oftourism. The temple itself is built on a smallpromontory, which is only accessible at low tide.During high water the rock takes on the ap-pearance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape.

Poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to‘guard’ the temple and contribute to the temple’sdangerous reputation. Sunset is the best time tovisit Tanah lot, when the golden red skies framethe temple and waves crash into the rocks. It isadvisable to avoid the tourist crush here, as itcan be severe.

WHERE TO GO . . . Klungkung, the SmallestRegency on the Island

This is the smallest regency in Bali. Itcovers only 121 square kilometers and in-cludes three islands, Nusa Penida,Lembongan and Ceningan. Despite its size,its influence on Balinese culture has beenpowerful. It was here, in the shadow of theholy volcano Agung, that the princes andpriests of Majapahit gathered in 1343 tocontinue the kingdom by setting up‘Keraton’ in Samprangan, but within acouple of generations, they moved toGelgel and then to Klungkung, in 1710. Inthe 16th century the Gods smiled on Gelgelwhen Dalem Baturenggong reached an im-pressive political and cultural achievementto earn his ‘golden age’

Kertha Gosa, which is situated in thecentral town of Semarapura, was the placefor administration and traditional justice inthe pre-colonial times by a council consist-ing of the great king and his priests. Nextto the Kertha Gosa is Taman Gili, knownas a Floating House (Bale Kambang) whichwas the King’s Guard’s headquarters.These two buildings are decorated with

Kamasan Traditional Paintings. A colonialbuilding, located next to these two build-ings, is Semarajaya Museum, collectingsome handicraft of Klungkung, pre-historicand historic articles especially those usedin the period of Klungkung’s heroic battle.In the southern part of the museum area,there stands the main gate of SemarapuraPalace ‘Pemedal Agung’.

The newest sight in Semarapura Townis Patung Kandapat Sari, situated at themain junction of Semarapura town. Somepeople consider this statue as the landmarkof Klungkung Regency. Next to this land-mark stands an historical monument knownas Monument of Klungkung Heroic Battle.This monument is a cenotaph reminiscentof an event that once took place on April28, 1908. It is well known as ‘Puputan’, acounter-defence of The Great King ofKlungkung against the Dutch soldiers.Moving south of Semarapura town alongthe main road, one will arrive at the ‘underconstruction’ area of Tourism Villages, homeof traditional Painting, Kamasan Village andBali’s original capital, Gelgel.

912 Nov 12 - 25, 2010Your guide to this island

Nov 12 - 25, 2010Your guide to this island

Tabanan is the name of one district and townin Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a touristtown there are still some interesting aspects toit. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch werefighting over control of the island.

One of the more positive historical pointsof interest is the Subak Museum, located closeto the main bypass road. While the museumitself is nothing special, it documents one ofthe most important social/economic/cultural in-stitutions in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-

Tabanan Regencymechanized rice cultivation and water manage-ment. Bali’s ability to produce an endless sup-ply of rice year round is central to its history.The Subak controls management of the water-courses, stretching all the way to the highlandlakes. A farmer cannot simply flood all his fieldsat the same time, or divert a main stream to ac-cess more water. The system is intricate and theSubak museum is the place where it’s officiallydocumented.

Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian tothe west are beach environments around thearea. Highlights of the area close to Tabananinclude Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) inWanasari and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura TanahLot is a 15-minute drive South from Tabanan.Tanah Lot

Tanah Lot, one of the most popular placesof interest in Bali, is located on the coast of WestBali, at the village of Beraban in the TabananRegency. It is also called Tanah Let, whichmeans ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, whichmean the land to the south. The temple PuraTanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dra-matic in its ocean-front location and is one ofthe main temples in the worship of Balinesegods.

Tanah Lot has a long history in the world oftourism. The temple itself is built on a smallpromontory, which is only accessible at low tide.During high water the rock takes on the ap-pearance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape.

Poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to‘guard’ the temple and contribute to the temple’sdangerous reputation. Sunset is the best time tovisit Tanah lot, when the golden red skies framethe temple and waves crash into the rocks. It isadvisable to avoid the tourist crush here, as itcan be severe.

WHERE TO GO . . . Klungkung, the SmallestRegency on the Island

This is the smallest regency in Bali. Itcovers only 121 square kilometers and in-cludes three islands, Nusa Penida,Lembongan and Ceningan. Despite its size,its influence on Balinese culture has beenpowerful. It was here, in the shadow of theholy volcano Agung, that the princes andpriests of Majapahit gathered in 1343 tocontinue the kingdom by setting up‘Keraton’ in Samprangan, but within acouple of generations, they moved toGelgel and then to Klungkung, in 1710. Inthe 16th century the Gods smiled on Gelgelwhen Dalem Baturenggong reached an im-pressive political and cultural achievementto earn his ‘golden age’

Kertha Gosa, which is situated in thecentral town of Semarapura, was the placefor administration and traditional justice inthe pre-colonial times by a council consist-ing of the great king and his priests. Nextto the Kertha Gosa is Taman Gili, knownas a Floating House (Bale Kambang) whichwas the King’s Guard’s headquarters.These two buildings are decorated with

Kamasan Traditional Paintings. A colonialbuilding, located next to these two build-ings, is Semarajaya Museum, collectingsome handicraft of Klungkung, pre-historicand historic articles especially those usedin the period of Klungkung’s heroic battle.In the southern part of the museum area,there stands the main gate of SemarapuraPalace ‘Pemedal Agung’.

The newest sight in Semarapura Townis Patung Kandapat Sari, situated at themain junction of Semarapura town. Somepeople consider this statue as the landmarkof Klungkung Regency. Next to this land-mark stands an historical monument knownas Monument of Klungkung Heroic Battle.This monument is a cenotaph reminiscentof an event that once took place on April28, 1908. It is well known as ‘Puputan’, acounter-defence of The Great King ofKlungkung against the Dutch soldiers.Moving south of Semarapura town alongthe main road, one will arrive at the ‘underconstruction’ area of Tourism Villages, homeof traditional Painting, Kamasan Village andBali’s original capital, Gelgel.

Tourism Attractions in Badung Regency

WHERE TO GO . . .

BTNNusa DuaIt means ‘two islands’ in Bahasa

Indonesia. This is one of the pre-mier resort areas in the world. Thearea is located 20 minutes south ofthe Ngurah Rai International Air-port, Denpasar and is a short driveto many of Bali’s attractions andbeautiful beaches. This is the homeof many of Bali’s world-classluxury resort hotels.

Jimbaran BeachThis area is just south of

Kedonganan beach and has a verybeautiful white sand beach area andclear seawater that is suitable for

recreation and relaxation. It is quieterthan its neighboring beaches and onewill find nice hotels and mostly sea-food served at Jimbaran’s restaurants.Jimbaran is in fact famous for its de-licious seafood, particularly its typi-cal grilled seafood with Jimbaran’s‘secret sauce’. You’ve got to taste itto believe it.

Legian, Seminyak, PetitengetBeach

These beautiful beaches are sev-eral kilometers north of Kuta. Like itsneighboring beaches, these offer arefuge for surfers. There are also manyfacilities for tourists as the result ofthe Kuta north expansion.Sangeh “Monkey Forest”

Sangeh is the village whose north-ern part covers about 14 hectares of aholy homogeny forest of ‘Pala’ treeswith hundreds of monkey inhabitants.The trees cannot be found on anyother part of Bali and their existencein this village remains a mystery. Lookfor a lovely mossy temple, which ishidden amongst the tall and gracious‘Pala’ trees.

Ayung River RaftingThe river Ayung is the longest and

largest river in Bali, and along thisriver, white water rafting was first in-troduced in Bali. To experience raft-

ing on the river Ayung’s west side isamazing, for besides the enjoymentof challenging rapids, the panoramaof this beautiful, intact nature area ishighlighted by the appearance of wildanimals along the rafting route suchas big bats, black monkeys, and more.

Uluwatu TempleAt the westernmost tip of Bukit

Peninsula, this is one of Bali’s nine‘directional’ Kayangan Jagat temples.The location is dramatic, perched onthe edge of a high cliff with a pictur-esque sunset view. The temple wasfirst used for worship by the 11th cen-tury holy priest, Empu Kuturan, whocame to Bali to bring religious lawand to form Desa Adat (traditional vil-lages). The area where spectacularsunsets can be viewed is filled withthe scent of frangipani blossoms andis also the home of friendly monkeys.

Petitenget TemplePeti Tenget temple and beach

is located at Banjar Batubelig,Kerobokan village kecamatanKuta. To reach this object by mo-tor vehicle from Denpasar, travelwestwards more or less 10 kmthen turn south, or to the northfrom Kuta following RayaSeminyak Street.

Peti Tenget temple was builtin the 15th century and it used tobe a plot of extraordinary holy(Tenget) land, bush growth anddwelled by the I Bhuta Ijo demonthat was trusted by Holy priest,Dang Hyang Nirartha to safe-guard his holy box. The story istold that when the priest stayedat south port (now Uluwatu), aman from Kerobokan villagecame asking the priest for help.He wished to cultivate the plotof land without feeling fear. Thepriest suggested that the peoplebuild a temple dedicated to god‘Labuhan Masceti’ and a singleclosed shrine (Pagedongan) forBhuta Ijo as a place to safeguardthe priest’s box (Peti). From thattime on, the temple was namedPeti Tenget Temple.

Sadha TempleThis temple, with decorative

carvings, is famous for its intricacyand ingenuity. Dating from theMajapahit period, this originallywas an old dynastic sanctuary(prasada) of Mengwi Royalty. The

split gate and a 16-meter hightower inside the temple are con-structed much like ‘Candi’ in Java.The 64 stone seats, similar to mega-lithic ancestral shrines, commemo-rate warriors who died in battle.

Taman Ayun Temple‘Taman Ayun’ means beautiful

garden, located in the village ofMengwi, 18 km west of Denpasar.It is indeed one of Bali’s most pic-

turesque temples. The king ofMengwi, I Gusti Agung Anom,built its stately proportioned court-yards and large surrounding moatin the year 1634. Containing boththe Royal family ancestral shrinesand the storied MERU shrines tothe major deities, Taman Ayun be-came the main temple for the an-cient kingdom of Mengwi.

UHA involves Employees to Clean Up Ubud AreaMore than two hundreds of hotel employees consisting of

those working in Ubud area committed a clean-up service inthe surrounding environment of Ubud, Tuesday (Sep 21), pow-ered by 37 member hotels of the Ubud Hotels Association(UHA).

“The environmental clean-up service denotes a part of theorganization’s activities while providing awareness to tourismbusiness people and the community that Ubud is one of thedestinations renowned in foreign countries.Therefore, the sani-tation becomes a must to be maintained,” revealed Duartha,Vice Chairman of UHA who is also the GM of Waka di UmeHotel.

“To support the government‘s program, namely Clean andGreen Bali and Clean-Up The World, this endeavor will bemade into a regular activity as a real manifestation in keepingthe earth sustainable.Though started from a small scope, wehave confidence this awareness will spread to the public thatenvironmental sanitation is truly important for our lives in thefuture,” added Duartha.

If toward the west is the roadleading to Tejakula, East Buleleng,right direction to Sukawana Village,while at the junction itself occurs thePucak Penulisan Temple. People of-ten make this point as their stop over.It is not only the Hindus saying prayersat the sanctum, domestic and foreigntourists visiting the Pucak Penulisanalso perform same thing. The templeis approximately 70 km fromDenpasar and has many destinationssuch as Panarajon Temple and TegehKoripan. Since it is located on

Pucak Penulisan Temple

A Sanctum and Archeological Tourist ObjectPenulisan Hill people mostly call itPucak Penulisan Temple.

Megalithic HeritagePucak Penulisan Temple does not

only serve as a place to worship thegreatness of Supreme God in themanifestation as Shiva Natha. Fromthe location with altitude of 1,745 mabove sea level, one can find thetraces of the past history of Bali.

This temple retains hundreds ofancient relics and archeological arti-facts that can give clues about thedevelopment of Bali within a fewperiods. It ranges from prehistoric

period to the era of Hindu influence.Some relics are well preserved up tonow in the Pucak Penulisan Temple,including megalithic relics such as astone with solar and lunar decoration,an embodiment of Lord Brahma,three pairs of effigies, two pairs ofphallic embodiment, a Ganesh effigy,a temple miniature symbolizing themountain as the abode of the gods orsacred spirits, and hundreds of singlephallus with different forms. Some re-main intact, while others only leave afew parts of the body. Overall, thosephalluses symbolize the Lord Shiva.

Various conclusions could be

drawn by home and foreign scien-tists in relation to the ancient relicsof the Pucak Penulisan Temple de-rived from the era of Ancient Ba-linese royal Kingdom. It is con-nected with the discovery of severalinscriptions relating to the life of Baliat that time. If tourists would like tohave a closer look at them, simplymake a visit to the temple early inthe morning and follow the rules ofentering the shrine.

City of Japan estab-lished cooperationin education sectorwith Denpasar,there is possibilityto develop furthercooperation, suchas cultural coopera-tion between Baliand Kyoto. Indeed,both cities have a long history andsublime cultural heritage.

It was stated by Isamu Maedaand his wife Sachiko Maeda,Wednesday (Nov 3) to Bali TravelNews (Bali Post Media Group).“Bali and Kyoto respectively havea unique and ancient history beingvery famous around the world,”said Mr. Maeda who claimed tohave forgotten how many timesthey visited Bali as it was toofrequent.”Establishment of Non-Profit Organization (NPO) inFukuoka is much easier because ithas been recorded that many Japa-nese people loving Bali in the city,”he said while mentioning somenames.

However, he added that hewould try to pioneer it in Kyotobecause according to regulations,the establishment of an NPO, ofcourse, should be accompanied bypolitical will of local government.However, considering the good re-lations preserved by Japanese andBalinese society, he had confi-dence the establishment of NPOcould gradually be materialized.“On that account, the cooperationand relations between Japan andBali will be increasingly closer,”he said.

Meanwhile, a member of

Bali-Kyoto Cultural CooperationA

Isamu Maeda together with his wife.

Denpasar Education Council, IGusti Kompyang Pujawan, alsoaccompanying them explainedthat the Fukuoka-Bali NPO wasorganizing a meeting in Japan todiscuss about the concrete mea-sures in years to come in the mat-ter of further reinforcing the edu-cation cooperation betweenDenpasar and Fukuoka. “Mayorof Denpasar and press figures,teachers are now in Japan for thispurpose,” he said.

Furthermore, they said therelationship between Japan andBali should be developed continu-ously from all sides to enhance thefriendship on both sides. “I thinkthe Kyoto and Bali is appropriateto make cooperation in culturalfield,” said Mr. Maeda.

After several trips to Bali,striking changes were seen todaynamely in the form of the extraor-dinary traffic congestion. The wayto Kuta involved in traffic conges-tion and to Ubud and Jimbaran aswell. “There are too many carshere,” he said.

It was the reason why thisJapanese couple tended tochoose the attractions that wererelatively quiet as well as hav-ing several panoramic ricefields in Gianyar. (pal)

The cremation procession of theKing of Peliatan IX in Ubud

ROBABLY, celebration of the 517th anniversary of Tabanan City was the most fes-tive and special. Over the past 26 days (November 4 to 29), the region of rice grana-ries organized various activities. Interestingly, all activities were not merely ceremo-

nial, but involved the community both in terms of economic, social and cultural aspect.“We are going to do a lot of activities involving the entire community,” said the Regent

of Tabanan Ni Putu Eka Wiryastuti to reporters during the press conference in her office, a

THE Telaga Tunjung weir denotes a sort of reservoir to hold water. Theweir located at Timpag Village, Kerambitan Subdistrict, Tabanan Regency,was inaugurated by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on April 28, 2007.

A security officer and spokesman of the Telaga Tunjung weir, Ida BagusKade Putrawan, who encountered at location recently, said that the extent ofthe weir area was approximately 16.5 hectares. At normal condition, it couldaccommodate water more than 1 million cubic meters.

The weir whose distance about 37 kilometers from Denpasar gets watersupply from the Ho River and Maha River. It is very useful to support theirrigation and clean water supply in the region. For irrigation purposes, itsupplies the water to hundreds of hectares of rice fields at Subak Gadungan,Subak Meliling and Subak Sungsang. Apparently, the Telaga Tunjung weir isimmensely appropriate for a tourist attraction in Tabanan. On the visit of BaliTravel News (BTN) to location in last mid-October, a few foreign and domes-tic tourists looked absorbed in delighting in the natural scenery around theweir.

Indeed, its panorama is quite beautiful. It offers a vast rice field with thebackdrop of magnificent Mount Batukaru and supported by cool climate awayfrom pollution. In the meantime, the weir itself is also taken advantage forchanneling the hobby of local residents like fishing. For the convenience ofvisitors, food and soft drink vendors have been available at location. It is veryeasy to reach the location of the weir. From Meliling Village situated atTabanan-Gilimanuk route, visitors should head northwardly about 8 kilome-ters. Unfortunately, the 8 kilometers streets are now severely damaged, soplease be careful!

few days before the event took place. According tothe Regent Eka, it was carried out as a form of car-ing and togetherness between Tabanan RegencyGovernment and local community.

The spirit of togetherness denoted an invaluablecapital in carrying out the development towards abetter future of Tabanan in achieving the Prosper-ous, Safe and Excellent Tabanan. According to theRegent Eka, Tabanan had considerable potential,both in terms of natural resources, human resourcesand cultural resources. However, those potentialscould not be fully utilized. Through the anniversaryof the city, she hoped to be able to take advantage ofthose potentials accordingly and develop them inyears to come, she added.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Anniversary Com-mittee, I Ketut Nuryasa, explained that various ac-tivities would be held, among others, vehicle emis-sions testing, praying together, painting en masse, freemedical treatment and alternative healing, eye exami-nation and free glasses, cataract surgery, parcel deliv-ery to 100 veterans, provision of free marriage cer-tificate and birth certificate for poor households aswell as reforestation.

Additionally, it would also be resumed with theactivities such as conferral of usable clothes, groundbreaking of house refurbishment for poor householdsand mass mice hunting centered in Marga Subdis-trict. Moreover, the no less interesting event wouldbe several competitions including culinary, womenbleganjur parade, dance contest of OlegTambulilingan and Joged Bumbung.

HIS painting exhibition does not only show offthe artistic expression of the artists, but alsoreveals particular meaning and purpose of the

artist to the audience and society in general. Through con-temporary-flavored style and scratches in combinationwith traditional realistic techniques as well as modernabstract realism the painter would like to recall the pasttime in the present.

It is an illustration excerpt of paintings showcased atthe Griya Santrian Gallery Sanur presenting 14 works ofart by two academic artists namely I Made Karyana and IWayan Sedanayasa. They offered unique style andscratches on canvas measuring 150 X 145 cm. Indeed,they looked similar but were actually not the same. Theexhibition itself took place for 18 days, from October 29

until November 15.In his work, Karyana featured various strengths of tra-

ditional visual inspired by typicality of Batuan, Ubud,Gianyar, in a touch of modern realistic techniques. Hisvisual streak turned to explore figurative-primitive nuance,the figure of a hunter, criticism on cultural explosion, ter-rorism, technology, and a magnifying glass scratches oncontemporary Balinese appearance and a glance into thepast times.

Scratches of his work were actually intended to expresshis artistic and creative imagination to look back the piecesof the past time as a part of the contemporary era to wel-come a better future. “Contemplating on the present timeby referring to the past and inspired by Hinduism withinthe frame of sublime art and culture, he would get ready

to face the future of Bali,” de-scribed Karyana of Gianyar-bornon January 28, 1981

Meanwhile, Sedanayasa saidthrough the creative scratches ofartwork he wanted to convey avariety of dimensions of social re-ality in contemporary life and glo-balization overwhelmed by ad-vanced technology. The scratchesof students of Ganesha EducationUniversity (Undiksha) Singarajawere artistic enough in realistic ab-stract style. He was interested inthe automotive color due to deg-radation emitted could tease theaudience.

Through the scratches of his lat-est work, Sedanayasa wanted theaudience to realize that the truebeauty of all forms in the sophisti-cated world would plunge humaninto the industrial waste. It wasvery dangerous for the life of theworld. Probably, this was the so-called pleasure bringing misery, headded. (BTN/bud)

H IS friend asked why theHindus worshiped idol

Having beentaken and handed over by aservant, Vivekananda exam-ined and placed it on the car-pet. Afterward, Vivekanandapolitely remarked if his friendwould not have the heart totouch the photo by the toe ofhis boots. Finally, the friendrealized his mistake that wor-shipping a statue or the likewould help inconceptualization.

Meanwhile, accordingto a French l inguis t ,Ferdinand de Saussure, in thelanguage of sign there are the

signifying (object) and thesignified (concept or refer-ence). In this context, photo-graph is the object, whilegrandfather is the reference.God has been universally ac-knowledged to be the mostperfect. To help concentratethe mind on God, the Hindusapply a medium like variouskinds of sanctified effigies.Each devotee has differentability to contact Him. Com-mon people may use a me-dium, while those havinghigher spiritual knowledge donot need any medium. There-fore, none is wrong and it isa freedom.

Inspired by puranic ormythological stories, manyHindu artisans in Bali man-age to make various kinds of

sculpture. When visitors hap-pened to have island excur-s ion, you may encountermany statues such as outsidethe temple, at the end of eachbridge, intersection, hotel’sgardens or even on the pave-ment on the protocol roads inDenpasar. Sacred statues areplaced in the sanctum repre-senting gods and goddess aswell as heavenly creatures,decorative statue installed incommercial premises and thelast one is statue to com-memorate the great heroes.

Statues depicting thegreat heroes can be encoun-tered in the regencies pursu-ant to their respective origin.One of the great heroes ofBali is I Gusti Ngurah Rai asthe name of local interna-tional airport. Right in theeast of the airport stands stillthe Statue of Ngurah Rai. Hewas the commander of CiungWanara troops of Bali strug-gling bit terly against theDutch colonial for the sake of

freedom.With him, there were

some other companions inarms. For instance, I GustiNgurah Bagus Sugianyar, hisstatue is strategically in-stalled in the intersection ofJalan Gatot Subroto andJalan Cokroaminoto, Ubung.As if he welcomes everyoneentering the city from outsideDenpasar and outside Balifrom the west. Then, CokordaAgung Tresna—Head ofBadung Struggle Headquar-ters. His statue is installed onthe intersect ion of JalanGatot Subroto and JalanNangka, right in the east ofSugianyar’s statue. Mean-while, Ida Bagus Putu Japawas a member of PembelaTanah Air (embryo of the In-donesian Military) immortal-ized with a statue put in theRenon roundabouts.

In the meantime,Puputan Badung Square lo-cated right in the heart ofDenpasar City also retained

statutes of other great heroes.The statues are placed in thenorthern side of the square.They depict the bi t terstruggle of the Badung King-dom against the colonial un-til their last bloodshed. Thisheroic incident occurred onSeptember 20, 1906 and nowit is celebrated as the PuputanBadung Day.

Those statues are in-tended to show an apprecia-tion over the merits of greatheroes of Bali that had dedi-cated their entire life sin-cerely for the nation. Simi-larly, they denote an educa-tional medium to introducethe heroes to younger genera-tion so they get a simple il-lustration about the heroesliving before their time. Lastbut not least, they also givegood visual impression to thearrangement of urban land-scaping and at tract ion totourists reflecting one of theartistic treasures owned byBali. (BTN/punia)BTN

OR I Ketut Budha, hisposition as GeneralManager of Jayakarta

Bali Beach Resort, Residence &Spa poses a challenge. A wealth ofworking experience in the field ofhospitality deeply involved since1978 was considered not to guar-antee the success of the task com-pleted. However, the man ofDenpasar-born on May 14, 1957,always gets excited.

In harmony with the tourismcontinued to flourish, he had to im-prove his knowledge as well, par-ticularly in tourism. Thus, he ex-plained when met at his office notlong ago.

Most importantly was, contin-ued Budha, provided sincere ser-vices from the very bottom of theheart to every single guest. There-fore, the awareness of tourismworkers needed growing. “Em-ployees of Jayakarta actively com-mit yoga exercise every Saturday.It was intended to cultivate the lov-ing-kindness of their heart, so theycould really provide services fromthe heart,” said Budha while add-ing that all employees put onFriendly Pin to remind of such af-fection.

The understanding on the hotelas a field to earn life was alwaysimplanted. When they had accom-plished their work well it would en-gender good result, too. In essence,we need to make an approach tothe employees because they playeda role as vanguard in providing

imagery to the product, he added.And most importantly was continu-ing to provide education throughtraining simultaneously.

Nevertheless, Budha said thatpromotion was also necessary to at-tract new markets. So far, promo-tion was often performed throughthe Jayakarta Group, such as byperforming road shows to theInternationale Tourismusborse(ITB) Berlin, ITB Asia, Pacific AsiaTravel Association (PATA),ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) andsome others. The purpose of thesecampaigns was to sell the existing9 properties under Jayakarta Group.However, Jayakarta Bali playedmore important roles in the promo-tion because Bali had been wellknown out there, he said seriously.

According to him, the targetedmarket was mixed markets such asAustralia, Europe, Japan, Russiaand domestic. However, theJayakarta Bali Hotel with 278 roomsand 73 residences (1-bed room, 2and 3-bed room) was dominated byAustralian tourists since 1983. Outof 75 percent of foreign tourists, 55percent of them were Australiantourists. He was grateful that fromJanuary to November 2010, the oc-cupancy of Jayakarta Hotel aver-agely reached 90 percent, he added.

Previously, occupancy of thehotel was very low, so he was thenassigned in Bali. Budha made ap-proach to travel agents to establishand strengthen his co-operation. Hecontinued to improve quality and

provide motivation for employeesin providing excellent services toall guests. Such efforts were thenyielded results in the form of newrepeater guests coming up to threetimes a year. Frequent guests werealso given some conveniences suchas free welcome drink, while re-peater guests were entitled to getattractive bonuses, such as free din-ner and free accommodation, he

added.Prior to occupying the position

as GM of The JayakartaYogyakarta Hotel & Spa (2001-2007), Ketut Budha also continu-ously maintained the relationshipwith local communities, such as byjoining mutual assistance, givingdonation to the construction oftemple and others. Meanwhile, hisparty also carried out mutual assis-

tance through clean-up activities onthe beach in front of the hotel to-gether with hawkers every Friday.Such an approach almost found noobstacles because he previously hadtime to become an Executive As-sistant Manager at the JayakartaBali (Mar-Jun 2001).

In the meantime, his party alsoprovided opportunity for people totake part, such as involving peopleat every BBQ, Bali Night eventwith a variety of cultural perfor-mances. Local community was alsoallowed to do selling in the hotelarea during the Bali Night at freeof charge. By doing so, local peoplecould enjoy the sweetness of tour-ism directly, said Budha.

HAVE you not been to Peliatan Village? If you have not,simply come to it. If you have, of course you could feel theprofound nuances of Balinese culture. Peliatan Village isone of the cultural tourist destinations visited by many for-eign tourists as well as domestic tourists.

From Denpasar, Peliatan is approximately 22 km or 10km in the west of Gianyar town where the road access to thevillage has been quite nice and smooth.

Peliatan Village is one of the quite densely populated vil-lages in Bali. At this present time, most villagers of Peliatanno longer have land to be cultivated, so they turn their live-lihoods to the other sectors considered more likely to meettheir daily needs. Such condition is influenced by the rapiddevelopment of tourism industry in Bali, where PeliatanVillage is one of tourist destinations in Gianyar Regencyhighlighting sublime culture and folk crafts.

The village has excellent potential in the field of arts andis better known as the storehouse of the artists. Its arts likedance, sculpture, carving, and painting have been growingand developing flourishingly. Additionally, the village re-tains many craft centers, too.

Even, Peliatan Village has been very popular with the art ofgamelan music and dance. Since 1931, the dance troupes of thevillage have roamed around the globe to various countries, suchas a visit to Paris under leadership of A.A. Gde Mandra (GungKak), to America in 1951 and 1989 and to Australia in 1971, todemonstrate various dances. Moreover, many Westerners con-sider Peliatan as the home of legendary legong dance having ahigh cultural value. (BTN/014)

In addition, the program was also intended toshore up the government’s program namely realizing a clean andgreen city. The program invited students to use bicycle as a modeof transportation to school. Mertakota revealed the matter on thesidelines of the program launching at the office of BNI Renon,Denpasar on Friday (Oct 28).

Mertakota explained the program targeted the students studyingin junior high, senior high and vocational high school. Those stu-dents selected as the target of the program because at those agesthey were not qualified to have a driving license so the rate of acci-dents afflicting students was high enough. Similarly, the programwas aimed to reduce traffic congestion. His party expected the pro-gram could grow the awareness of students to take advantage ofcycling, so that in years to come there would be more and morebikes milling about in the streets, not vehicles, added Merthakota.
