Tabanan Regency
Tabanan is the name of one
district and town in Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a
tourist town there are still some interesting aspects to it.
Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch were fighting over control
of the island.
The kingdom of Tabanan (a former regency of Bali) refused
to abide by Dutch regulations. The Dutch forces marched towards
Tabanan from the south, refusing to negotiate with the raja.
In other regencies of Bali the raja and his court committed
the ritual puputan (fight until death or last blood). The
raja of Tabanan wanted to avoid this, but rather than be exiled
in Lombok, he committed suicide in Denpasar prison. The history
of colonial rule around the world is written in blood, Bali
being no exception.
One of the more positive historical points of interest is
the Subak Museum, located close to the main bypass road. While
the museum itself is nothing special, it documents one of
the most important sociall economic/ cultural institutions
in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to 600AD, Bali has been using
a system of un-mechanized rice cultivation and water management.
Bali’s ability to produce an endless supply of rice
year round is central to its history.
The Subak controls management of the watercourses, stretching
all the way to the highland lakes. A farmer cannot simply
flood all his fields at the same time, or divert a main stream
to access more water. The system is intricate and the Subak
museum is the place where it’s officially documented.
Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian to the west are beach
environments around the area. Highlights of the area close
to Tabanan include Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) in Wanasari
and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura Tanah Lot is a 15-minute drive
South from Tabanan.
 Tanah
Lot, one of the most popular places of interest in Bali, is
located on the coast of West Bali, at the village of Beraban
in the Tabanan Regency. It is also called Tanah Let, which
means ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, which mean the land
to the south. The temple Pura Tanah Lot, simple in its construction,
is dramatic in its ocean-front location and is one of the
main temples in the worship of Balinese gods.
Tanah Lot has a long history in the world of tourism. The
temple itself is built on a small promontory, which is only
accessible at low tide. During high water the rock takes on
the appearance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape.
Poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to ‘guard’
the temple and contribute to the temple’s dangerous
reputation. Sunset is the best time to visit Tanah lot, when
the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into
the rocks. It is advisable to avoid the tourist crush here,
as it can be severe.
