Places of Interest Traditional Market>
Badung Traditional Market located in
the main road, Gajah Mada Street, is the center of the town’s
economics. This area has become a shopping centre of Bali.
This market cannot be discharged from the existing market
across Badung’s river, called Kumbasari Market because
the local society will feel that their shopping experience
would be incomplete without going there to the Kumbasari Market,
especially for the Balinese who want to buy their ceremonial
items.
Kumbasari Market sells costume and clothing items at prices
relatively cheaper than clothing items sold at the shops in
Gajah Mada Street which are mostly owned by citizens of Chinese
clan. Kumbasari Market was previously called Peken Payuk (pot
market); it sold such items as gerabah (jar like pot), cobek
(clay plates), paso (clay buckets), caratan (clay water jug),
jeding (clay barrel), penyantokan (mixer from clay), coblong
(clay cup), kekeb (rice cover) and others. All of these items
are used as kitchenware and for ceremony. Since this market
was most popular as a place to sell payuk pot, hence Kumbasari
Market in the past was referred to as Peken Payuk or pot market.
Bali’s Governor, Prof.
Dr Ida Bagus Mantra, officially opened the Denpasar Market
on 24 April 1984. This market area is about 14,544 M2 with
an outdoor area of 9,064 M2. The building has four storeys.
The local people who shop at this market are not only from
environment of Denpasar community but also come from outside
of town. In the days leading up to the big holidays like Galungan,
Kuningan and others, this market is always crowded with buyers
who are mostly from the local society.
This market is open around the clock - from 5 o’clock
in the morning to close at 5 o’clock in the evening.
Then, the evening market opens from 05:00 pm until 05:00 am
the next day when the morning market starts again. Meanwhile
the Senggol Market in Kumbasari opens at 02:00 pm and closes
at 11:30pm.
The unique name of ‘Senggol’ Market is possibly
taken from the situation and condition of people’s movement
on shopping where they must jostle each other for position
because of visitor denseness. This Senggol Market sells a
variety of cheap foods from the Balinese, Javanese and Chinese
cookery. It also sells various types of adult’s and
children’s clothing.
The location of Denpasar Market is encircled by shops along
the street of Gajah Mada. On the right side there is Sulawesi
Street which is famous for textiles. Denpasar Traditional
Market is progressively strengthening the identity of Denpasar’s
economic center which is open 24 hours and is never silent
or empty of visitors.
At traditional market, you will find transactions taking place
between buyers and merchants with multifarious merchandise
to satisfy life’s daily needs such as kitchen supplies,
appliances required for Hindu ritual, fruits and traditional
clothes. In this market, you will see the local people, especially
the women who carry extremely heavy items in a big basket
balanced on their heads.
Jagatnata Temple
Jagatnata Temple is the biggest Hindu
temple in Denpasar town, which many Hindu people in Denpasar
visit to pray, particularly on full moon and new moon. This
temple is full of religious and artistic ornaments. In the
center of temple area, there is a high temple building encircled
by the fertile tropical garden. From the entrance gate to
the temple building you will find the Balinese decorations
full of meaning to Hindu devotees.
Bali Museum
 Bali
Museum is located right next door to Jaganatha Temple and
in this museum you will find a lot of the ancient artifacts
of prehistory which have very high artistic value. The collection
in this museum provides a different experience on your tour.
If the museum is not opened on the day of your tour, we will
offer the alternative to visit Bali Art Center to see the
biggest open theater in Denpasar town.
Bali Struggle Monument-Bajra Sandhi
This monument is erected in the middle
of Denpasar civic center Renon. It is a symbol of Bali people’s
struggle to gain independence after the Dutch Colonials retreated
from this country. This monument immortalizes the soul and
spirit of Bali people’s struggle. It also aims to take
care of and develop and preserve the Balinese culture for
future generations.
