Tenganan Pegringsingan

Tenganan Pegringsingan is a village in the regency of Karangasem, Bali. Before the 1970's was known by anthropologists to be one of the most secluded societies of the archipelago. Rapid changes have occurred in the village since the 70's, such as the development of local communications by the central government, the opening up to tourism, the breaking of the endogamic rules. Tourists are attracted to Tenganan by its unique " Bali Aga" culture that still holds to the original traditions, ceremonies and rules of ancient Balinese, and its unique village layout and architecture. It is known for its Gamelan Selunding and Geringsing Double Ikat textile.
