Information about place

In English

Tenganan Pegringsingan is a Village that is located in the eastern part of Bali. Even among the highly spiritual villages in Bali, Tenganan Pegringsingan is still considered as a very unique and secluded one. In fact, this Village is one of the few Aga villages in Bali.

Tenganan Pegringsingan is very special in terms of cultural heritage as it is almost free from any outside influence. The villagers are trying to keep their Village pure and clean. As a result, Tenganan Pegringsingan is highly unique, even compared to other exotic villages in Bali....

One of the rituals performed by the people of Tenganan village is the Pandan War. Two young men were pitted against each other in a special arena. Each young man carries a weapon; a bunch of thorny pandan leaves which have sharp spines. They try to inflict each other’s bodies with lashes from the leaves’ sharp thorns. This is not a spectacle for those faint of hearts because there will be blood!
