Traditional Balinese Textiles

Like most parts of the Indonesian archipelago, Bali has several traditional textiles that are exclusive to the island. "Endek" is the most widely produced cloth that uses a single 'ikat' technique whereby the pattern is made by resist-dying the threads of the warp or weft. Another more elaborate textile is "Songket", which is embellished with gold threads as a symbol of privilege. These cloths are worn for auspicious occasions and passage of rite ceremonies such tooth filings and weddings.

The village of Sidemen located at the foothills of the sacred Mount Agung is famous for its handcrafted textiles. There are several workshops in the area and some women still weave at home using old-fashioned contraptions. Authentic endek and songket textiles are not cheap and local buyers appreciate the amount of work that has gone into creating each piece. 

Anyone interested in visiting Sidemen to learn more about this artistic heritage can contact our Guest Service Assistant at the Lobby to make the necessary arrangements. A private tour is a great opportunity to explore rural Bali and perhaps bring home a special treasure or two.

Bali's Cultural Calendar

Galungan and Kuningan Day – Victory of Dharma against Adharma

Bali"s religious calendar is based on a 210 day cycle that is enriched with auspicious dates and colourful rituals. Over the coming month the island's Hindu community will celebrate Galungan on 2nd August 2023, which marks the beginning of a 10 day ceremonial festival. Galungan is a time when the Balinese return home to their ancestral villages to pray in their family temples. It also involves elaborate offerings to appease the Gods as well as the unseen elements of the underworld.

Kuningan is the culmination of the 10 days long Galungan festival where a number of symbolic rites will be performed over those days. This is an opportunity for the Balinese to honour the spirits of defied ancestors and express gratitude for the gift of life, perhaps similar to those celebrated during Day of the Death in Mexico.

So do expect to see some unique celebrations and temple festivals during this special occasion while you are holidaying in the Island of the Gods.
