This is one of the great original traditional villages (Bali Aga) i have been to. found in the Karangasem mountain area. The walled village is laid out in three parts to suit different functions: dwelling, gardening and rice farming these are set out neatly. The houses all sport the same design and are backed off by one central living and trading vein. Tenganan is famous for its Gringsing handmade weaved cloth, which possesses spiritual properties they are very nice. The village has its own peculiar artistic traditions, the most spectacular of these being the Pandanus leaf duel (Geret Padan) where men fight each other with spiky leaves to the entrancing sounds of iron gamelan (selunding) music very amusing.
