The traditional village of Tengangan consists of three banjar adat (traditional) sub-villages where the communities of the three sub-villages living harmoniously in three different blocks located in the same area. Thus, the local people here have very tight family-bond as they keep considering all people born within this particular community are family.

 

Males and females also find their own partners (boyfriend/girlfriend) within the village and further to be married. Anyone breaks the traditional regulation shall be kicked-off from the communities as they are considered to disrespect the regulation. 

 

What makes Tenganan Pegringsingan unique? The practice of "equity" where male and female have the same right has made the traditional village of Tenganan vry unique. A local man, Pak Kondri argues that "Local people of Tenganan Pegringsingan do have the same obligation to continue thier generations and inheritances". This is of course different with the common practices for Balinese people living outside this village where males have superior rights over the females which means that only males have the rights of the inheritance and obligations to continue the generations.

TOURISTS' VOICES ON TENGANAN PEGRINGSINGAN VILLAGE

We had the opportunity to tour an ancient village from the 1600s, thanks to one of the elders. He was very informative and took us into his home to show us traditional weaving done by his wife. The village is still functioning today, and it's a very lovely stroll through a beautiful old town.

 

This village is beautiful - the residents are still skilled craftsmen, and their products are a bit more expensive, but the sight of skilled hands at work is priceless. I was happy to pay for my ikat and traditional calendar, and I'm glad to barter if it's reasonable.
