The Puputan Badung Monument which is now known as Puputan Badung Square I Gusti Ngurah Made Agung is located in the heart of Denpasar, right in front of the Bali Museum. This monument is located on the northern side of Puputan Square, which used to be a battlefield during the Puputan Badung War in 1906 when the Dutch invaded Denpasar.
The word puputan means all out. So this monument is a form of commemoration and respect for the Balinese people who fought an all-out war against the Dutch. Now the Puputan Badung monument is a place of recreation for the people of Denpasar. +
This monument is located in the Puputan Niti Mandala Renon Field, Denpasar. The monument which has an area of 40,000 meters² is located in a green open area which is comfortable to visit. This building stands on the south side of the field with the philosophical concept of playing Mandara Giri to get tirta amrta as a source of life. The designer of this magnificent building is Ida Bagus Gde Yadnya. Carrying the Bajra or Genta form as the main building with magnificent Balinese ornaments. This building is also a symbol of the journey of Balinese history from time to time, from prehistoric times to the present. With supporting facilities such as a museum, this monument has become one of the icons of the Province of Bali. Now this monument is not only a learning tool but also a recreational place for selfies. +
"Back in 2004 Muntigunung was one of the poorest areas in Bali. It was rather inhospitable – simple bamboo huts dotted a dry, brown landscape that had nothing in common with the lush, tropical, touristy South of Bali. Families had no access to water and had to walk for an average of four hours just to fetch water. There were hardly any employment opportunities and the intense long dry season prevented the cultivation of agricultural produce for most of the year. This forced many women and children of Muntigunung to beg in the tourist areas in the south of the island to ensure their survival. As many people in the community relied on income from begging, they used their children as “emotional sales support” with the consequence that these children didn’t attend school, resulting in a continuous cycle of illiteracy and poverty.
A Holistic, Sustainable Approach
In 2006, in an effort to provide a more sustainable and brighter future for the Muntigunung community, Future for Children – a Swiss backed NGO, together with Yayasan Dian Desa, initiated the Muntigunung Community Development Program.
By working alongside the community, specially designed roofs were constructed to harvest and store rainwater in tanks to provide a year-round water supply. After securing and maintaining clean water for every household, the aim was to support the community in accessing healthcare and education and creating employment and economic opportunities through social enterprises. Over the course of several years, child mortality was reduced from 9% to 0%, sanitary facilities were built by the community and access to public healthcare and education facilitated. Three social enterprises were established to develop the area’s economy: Muntigunung Community Social Enterprise (Food), Muntigunung Community Social Handicrafts Enterprise and Muntigunung Trekking.
Today, the buildings initially built to harvest rainwater not only provide water, but also function as communal spaces for the residents and production centers for the social enterprises to process food products and produce handicrafts."
Standing in the centre of a park, Bajra Sandhi Museum displays spectacular and artistic Balinese architecture. Located in central of Denpasar, this is where you can learn a lot about the history and culture of Bali. The museum is a dedication to the struggles of the past and reminds future generations of culture and the need to preserve it. The site has numerous dioramas that depict the political and economic events of Bali dating back to thousands of years. The surrounding areas of the museum is a great place for runners, cyclists and yoga enthusiasts to enjoy the park.
Collections:
One of the important collections in this museum is the Bajra, most commonly used by Hindu priests while chanting Vedic mantras during the religious ceremonies. This historical museum captures the Balinese struggle against the Dutch colonial invasion. The Balinese Struggle Monument with its Balinese architecture and detailed carvings is an important part of the museum. This one of the museums in Bali that are more frequented by locals, which makes it a less busy destination for visitors!

From Lonely Planet:
Artist Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur de Merpres (1880–1958) arrived in Bali in 1932, and married the beautiful Legong dancer Ni Polok three years later, when she was just 15. They lived in this compound back when Sanur was still a quiet fishing village. After the artist’s death, Ni Polok lived in the house until she died in 1985. Despite security (some of Le Mayeur's paintings have sold for US$150,000) and conservation problems, almost 90 of Le Mayeur's paintings are displayed.
The house is an interesting example of Balinese-style architecture – notice the beautifully carved window shutters that recount the story of Rama and Sita from the Ramayana. The museum has a naturalistic Balinese interior of woven fibres. Some of Le Mayeur’s early works are impressionist paintings from his travels in Africa, India, the Mediterranean and the South Pacific. Paintings from his early period in Bali are romantic depictions of daily life and beautiful Balinese women – often Ni Polok. The works from the 1950s are in much better condition, displaying the vibrant colours that later became popular with young Balinese artists. Look for the haunting black-and-white photos of Ni Polok. +

As a millennial, I am willing to develop my village through BASAbali Village Wikithon Public Participation Program. Let's see what is in my village.
Friends, do you know a place called Art Village? This is my village, Desa Mas, which is located in the sub-district of Ubud, Gianyar Regency. In my village, there is a program for converting plastic waste into cash or rice. This program is very good for building the beauty of the village and helping the village community.
That's how it is, my friends. Hopefully the government will help or support programs like this by providing assistance in the form of operational budget funds.
Hopefully this video will entertain all of you. If there is a wrong word please forgive. (Klungkung Semarapura, Kirang langkung nunas ampura).
Thank you, basabaliwiki.org

Do you know there are no rivers in Denpasar? This is a river from Kesiman Village, named Bindu River. This river already has a management party and has been inaugurated by the local government. If you enter this river area, you are not charged the price of admission, but there is voluntary funds that can be given as much as possible. The place is cool, beautiful and charming. This place is a place where children play, exercise, catfish farming and there is also a place to gather. However, since the Covid-19 pandemic, tourist attractions such as this river are increasingly quietly visited. Regarding the cleanliness of the river, some parts of this place are abandoned and promotional media are still lacking. Hopefully the government can help re-manage this tourism area such as cleaning places and also increasing promotional media or publications so that the river as a tourist spot is known by the people of Bali to foreign countries. If there is time, let's play together to the Bindu River, brother sister. +

Ogoh-ogoh Museum Mengwi is the first museum specifically to preserve one of the most popular Balinese traditions, ogoh-ogoh (demonic statues made of bamboo, and other materials used in Ngrupuk parade – a day before Nyepi day). This museum is located in Mengwi and still in one area with Nyadnya Museum, which is located on the west side of Taman Ayun Temple. Inside this museum, there are more than 20 ogoh-ogoh from various regions in Bali, especially Badung Regency.
A Mengwi artist manages this place named I Ketut Nuada, a painter who is also the founder of this museum. All ogoh-ogoh stored in this museum is the result of many years of collections by the founder himself, which continued until today. +
Biaung traditional village located on Penebel district, Tabanan regency. As well as the other region in Tabanan, Biaung has ricefield and farm as their assets which provide bountiful harvest.
However, the biggest asset in Biaung is "YOWANA" or young genetation. One of their creativity is volleyball match agenda. They also held exibitions among the villages routinely. Through this event YOWANA can contribute to communitiy economy by selling tickets and procurement of mini shop around the hall. We wish the government can give support in the term of training and sport infrastructure development to maximize the potention in Biaung.
Who knows. In the future, national volleyball atlet can be born on Biaung. +

As a millennial, I am ready to develop my village through the Wikithon Public Participation #5 BASAbali Wiki. Let's look at to my village.
Hello friends, I am Dewa Ayu Manis and these are my friends, Desak Maharani and Yuli Setiawati. I would like to introduce you to the potential of villages in Banjar Pemenang, Nyalian Village, Banjarangkan District, Klungkung Bali.
Friends, don't you know? In Nyalian Village, there are craftspeople who make “capil” hats, which are made from the leaves of a young “demela” coconut tree. The way to make them is a bit complicated, but the price of this capil hat is very low. This business has existed for generations in the village, and no other village makes them.
I will let you know, there are problems felt by these craftspeople. The raw materials are difficult to find and the hats are not well promoted. The hope of the craftspeople is that the price of these capil hats can be increased so that they can help develop them as small-medium enterprises at the provincial level and also make them a village icon.
Hopefully from this video, the government can help in developing villages, especially in fostering the potential of working groups. Hopefully the government can help provide financial assistance or or other support to village development such as promoting this product overseas.
