EDITOR’SNOTE

AROUNDBALI

Bali is one of the 34 provinces of the Republic of Indonesia and has become the prime holiday destination in

Indonesia as well as one of the major holiday destinations for international tourists. The island is located in the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying

between Java to the west and Lombok to the east, and divided into 9 districts (8 regencies and 1 municipality) with

population around four million people.

Denpasar is the capital and most populous city of Bali.

The vast majority of the Balinese people are Hindu so there are a significant number of temples on the island. Temple or Pura in

Indonesian is the place for worship, and the biggest,

most important and holiest temple in Bali is the Mother

Temple of Besakih.

Bali has a tropical climate all year with average temperature of 31

degrees Celsius and two different seasons. Dry

season is between May

and September with high humidity and wet season is between October and April

with low humidity. From June to August, the weather is usually nice, breezy and

AROUNDBALI

Balinese Hindu people couldn’t be separated from religious rituals. It has become their nature to do ceremonies, from

the moment they were born to the time they passed away. In certain ages, Balinese people must undergo the procession of ‘Manusa Yadnya’ ceremony, and one of it is called ‘metatah’, or ‘mepandes’ if done by high-caste or royal family member.

“As a part of grand ‘Manusa Yadnya’ ceremony, Metatah is a Balinese coming-of-age tooth filing ritual

with deep symbolical meaning.”

TEETH WISDOM

17TRAVELER

Basically, metatah is tooth filing ceremonies where six upper teeth of a teenager are smoothen using a special

tool by pedanda (holy priest). This ceremony is done more for the symbolical meaning rather than physical, so those who experience will not feel much pain. In fact, this joyous coming-of-age moment is often celebrated in high fashion, as the teenagers wear their best traditional outfit and the

ritual is treated as a festive party.

Metatah symbolize the filing of six human natures which are considered as enemy of human being called ‘sad ripu’,

consisting of greed, lust, anger, confusion, stupidity and jealousy. This important life-cycle event usually occurs when a Balinese boy or girl reaches puberty, and must be done

before marriage. Metatah ceremony commonly incorporated in the marriage procession itself.

To further accompany their guest relaxing time, The Ritz-Carlton, Bali officially introduces a meticulous dining experience. Set on The Beach Grill restaurant beautiful venue overlooking the cerulean Indian Ocean and the lush green lawn, Sunday Feast - Brunch by The Beach is going to be the perfect highlight of the weekend to excite all epicurean enthusiast alike.

Spread across 800 km2, the area of Tabanan Regency

is widely considered as Bali’s very own ‘green belt’ area. The regency’s administration set high standard for hotels and resorts building and emphasis on preserving the majority of its area as natural environments. This makes Tabanan a refreshing

destination for those seeking for verdant landscape filled with paddy fields and crop plantation, uninterrupted by manmade concrete walls.

In Tabanan, it is best to set your trip as ‘historical exploration’ as the area held a lot of various sites built ages ago which have left its

27TRAVELER

prints on the island rich historical culture. You can visit museum Subak, for example, this is a place where you can learn a bit about the famous ‘Subak’ system that successfully turns Tabanan into the biggest rice provider in the whole islands.

LOST IN TABANAN

“Being one of the most underrated yet popular tourism destinations in Bali, Tabanan represents the island’s verdant countryside in which lies many historical and ancient sites worth visiting.”

JOURNAL

Many lush paddy fields scattered around the area was the byproduct of the brilliant traditional irrigation system called ‘Subak’, which has drawn international researcher and scientist to come and study the process. Museum Subak is located in Sanggulan countryside, Kediri sub district Tabanan.The second place you should visit in this regency is

Margarana Park in Marga village. This peacefull green park is once a place where Indonesian historical battle was fought between 96 Balinese army lead by I Gusti Ngurah Rai face around 400 of Dutch colonial army. The result is obvious as the Dutch is well armed and outnumbered Indonesian force 1 out of 4, but this event trigger the patriotic outburst that eventually lead to the independence day of Indonesian as they overturn the odds and push back the colonial out of the country, following the declaration of independence in 1945. To commemorate the majestic moment, a memorial

monument was built on the ground of Margarana Park, where tourist are allowed to visit and gaze upon the gallant structure.

Being a lush countryside, the nature landscape of Tabanan is also not to be missed. Jatiluwih, for example, is a beautiful rice terrace unfolding from the foot of mountain Batukaru to the coastal side. The local paddies planted in this place look relatively taller in size compared to the other pre-eminent paddy planted by most farmers in Bali

due to the area’s fertile soil and precise weather. Then, Alas Kedaton is yet another proof of the island’s mystical wonders. This rainforest is home to thousands of long-tailed macaque—a species of monkey, which is considered sacred and well-preserved, although they are allowed to interact freely with tourist and visitors.
