Tenganan is a traditional village located in Bali, Indonesia. It's renowned for its unique culture and heritage, particularly its adherence to the "ancient" Balinese ways that have been preserved over centuries.
One of the most notable aspects of Tenganan is its distinctive form of traditional architecture and its adherence to the "Bali Aga" culture, which predates the more widely known Balinese Hindu-Buddhist culture. This includes unique rituals, ceremonies, and social structures.
Tenganan is also famous for its traditional weaving of ikat textiles, specifically the gringsing fabric, which is known for its intricate designs and complex weaving techniques. The village's approach to art and craft reflects its deep cultural heritage and community spirit.
