Tenganan
Located just west of Candi Dasa is the village of Tenganan,a visit here is a trip back in time. This is one of the homes of the Bali Aga (original Balinese), the first inhabitants of Bali. The Tengananese believe they have been chosen to honor the royal descendents with offerings, sacrifices and rituals, and by administering the surrounding lands. Only recently has this society opened itself up to outsiders, although strict rules still apply, especially concerning marriage to outsiders. Tenganan features wonderful fabrics, one of which is the renowned gringsing double weave ikat cloth.
