Bali Unique Tradition-Kissing Festival

Bali Unique Tradition-Kissing Festival

Following Nyepi — a day of silence for Balinese Hindus marking the Saka New Year — Banjar Kaja in Sesetan, Denpasar, holds Omed-Omedan, a kissing festival for local teenagers that is believed to ward off bad luck in the year ahead.
The story goes that the festival began “a long time ago,” but nobody quite knows when. A group of bored teenagers were hanging around, playing games outside on Nyepi near the house of an elderly village leader who was sick. When the leader stepped outside to scold the laughing teenagers, he instantly felt better.
The festival has been held ever since. In the 1970s, it was moved to the day after Nyepi to respect the silence edict. There was only one year that the festival did not push through and locals say that on that day, the head of the community found two pigs fighting outside the main temple.
At this time, both young boys and girls who had been selected by the committee, as if they had been “mating” randomly then force to hug and kissing in front of thousands of people.

Kissing Fun Festival
In Balinese language, “omed” means pull and “omed-omedan” for pull each other. But in this tradition it’s means men and women who hug and kiss each other. This year omed-omedan festival, there are 50 young men and 50 young women of local banjar who decided will followed this traditional ritual.
The background of this tradition, according to several statements, as it is part of loyalty and worship to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, The Almighty God.
Since noon, thousands of people filled Jalan Raya Sesetan in front of Bale Banjar Kaja – Kaja assembling hall – to further enliven “Omed-Omedan” ritual, that banjar packaging their cultural ritual in a theme “Banjar Kaja Heritage Festival.

Kissing Fun, Let's Try 
Before queue of “Omed Omedan” participants get ready, previously they had to pray at Banjar Kaja Temple led by local priest. Then, while get accompanied with Balinese traditional music, or called as gamelan, those youth queue paraded into the “Omed Omedan” arena so they will get their turn one by one.
The festival get more enliven when the committee poured water irregularly to the viewers and participants. Whoever is in that arena could become wet and this is precisely the attraction of this ritual conducted on ‘Ngembak Geni.”
This all held in the name of history that happens few years ago. Not meaning that Balinese exploit or exhibit the sex, porn or kissing it. We love to all people with love, we love the peace.

Topography of the island

Geography
 

Topography of the island

See also List of bodies of water in Bali and List of mountains in Bali.

The island of Bali lies 3.2 km (2 mi) east of Java, and is approximately 8 degrees south of the equator. Bali and Java are separated by Bali Strait. East to west, the island is approximately 153 km (95 mi) wide and spans approximately 112 km (69 mi) north to south; its land area is 5,632 km².

The highest point is Mount Agung at 3,142 m (9,426 feet) high, an active volcano that last erupted in March 1963. Mountains range from centre to the eastern side, with Mount Agung the easternmost peak. Mount Batur (1,717 m) is also still active; an eruption 30,000 years ago was one of the largest known volcanic events on Earth.[citation needed] In the south the land descends to form an alluvial plain, watered by shallow, north-south flowing rivers, drier in the dry season and overflowing during periods of heavy rain. The longest of these rivers, Ayung River, flows approximately 75 km.

The island is surrounded by coral reefs. Beaches in the south tend to have white sand while those in the north and west have black sand. The beach town of Padangbai in the south east has both[citation needed]. Bali has no major waterways, although the Ho River is navigable by small sampan boats. Black sand beaches between Pasut and Klatingdukuh are being developed for tourism, but apart from the seaside temple of Tanah Lot, they are not yet used for significant tourism.

The largest city is the provincial capital, Denpasar, near the southern coast. Its population is around 491,500(2002). Bali's second-largest city is the old colonial capital, Singaraja, which is located on the north coast and is home to around 100,000 people. Other important cities include the beach resort, Kuta, which is practically part of Denpasar's urban area; and Ubud, which is north of Denpasar, and is known as the island's cultural centre.

Three small islands lie to the immediate south east and all are administratively part of the Klungkung regency of Bali: Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. These islands are separated from Bali by the Badung Strait.

To the east, the Lombok Strait separates Bali from Lombok and marks the biogeographical division between the fauna of the Indomalayan ecozone and the distinctly different fauna of Australasia. The transition is known as the Wallace Line, named after Alfred Russel Wallace, who first proposed a transition zone between these two major biomes. When sea levels dropped during the Pleistocene ice age, Bali was connected to Java and Sumatra and to the mainland of Asia and shared the Asian fauna, but the deep water of the Lombok Strait continued to keep Lombok and the Lesser Sunda archipelago isolated.

Bahung temple is located in the village Kutri, situated in the village Canggini Sakah (Gianyar). About Nalanda, which is also the name of a high school of Buddhism in the region of Bengal (Hindustan). In religious schools, many Chinese people who embraced Buddhism and went to study religion, such as Tsing Yi (about kira671-681 TM) and Hiuan Tsang (roughly 630-650 CE).
Village, and Vihara Dharma
The purpose of the inscription was in general is the case of termination of all sorts, such as: 1. The case between two villages on the boundaries such as land rights, irrigation, about the fields, etc.. 2. The case between two villages, one village wanted to be separated from government and other village becomes a stand-alone village ("carinten, veteran"). 3. The case of a village king with employees who collect taxes too hard or exceed those specified. 4. About King who freed a "dharma" or "temple" of the regular tax. But "dharma" "temple" that must maintain a temple or a temple is special.
For example in the oldest inscriptions (882 CE), king of monks in order to build a hermitage in Cintamani (now Kintamani). Hermitage is also used as Satra. Satra it may be compared with the building that now. That's where monks hermitage that has had to take a benighted people in the Mount, and are given modest food, as well as mats for sleeping.

In the inscription from 896 CE that is about the City in Banua Bharu, is what should be done by the people of Kuta that if there is a merchant who went into the village, as well as if there is one boat that landed were damaged. Decisions made in the inscription that is among the other two cases may be considered important. The first derivative of the villagers who had moved to "banau" Water Hawang "who was not a village standing alone, must also remain under the village government. After all the months Bhadrawada (second), they must respect the Bhatara Da Tonta special Bhatara derivative village.

The application was granted by the king. So Buwahan village grew, so that the villagers lack of land, livestock and more fields to forest to get wood shortage. Therefore the villagers bought the forests and lands of the king.
After review the purchase, can be explained that the era of ancient Bali The king has the right to land, fields and forests. In the kingdom of the Son Wungcu many inscriptions in the name of the kings of the more ancient refurbished and is set again. An inscription that the people "dharma" in the village Parcanigayan beg the king so that they are not forced to respect and menyungsung Bhatari barren.

But Parcanigayan village has become a stand-alone village who do not have to participate in his honor. The application was granted by the king's village.
In the inscription on Campaga village (1324 AD), the villagers asked to be released from some kind of tax, because the village had been seized by the village Hyang pivot. Many people are imprisoned and others have fled to another village. His house was looted and many are burned out.
In the village in the town of Herzliya now Tampaksiring village (north) to the sea (south) between the river and Patanu Pakerisan, there are hundreds of statues. Statues were often in the form as: Bhatara Master, Lord Brahma, Bhatara Gana (Ganeca), goddess Durga, the goddess Parvati etc. But on most of the statues, one expert no one knows who the king or queen of "gods" in the statues. In the inscription mentioned Bhatara Bhatari lumah somewhere.

Hot Water

Hot Water Banyuuwedang (Bishopscourt Hot Spring)
District / City: Buleleng

Banyuwedang Hot Water comes from the hot springs which emerge at the beach. This hot water is under water at high tide. It is the largest source of hot water, safety of concrete buildings made in the form of a circle that serves as a dike, so that the hot water at high tide is not mixed with seawater. This hot water contains sulfur with an average temperature of 40 degrees Celsius.
Because of the relatively high sulfur content, hot water is believed to be widespread even to the island of Java, because hot water can cure some diseases especially skin diseases. Not surprising that many people who come to this place with the hope the disease can be cured. The beach where there are hot springs are covered with mangrove plants that prevent abrasion coast. It could be argued Bayuwedang beach is free from abrasion.
The existence of the bay and some surrounding white sand adds tourism assets around Banyuwedang this. Hot Water Banyuwedang located in the Village District Gerokgak Pejarakan 60 km from the town of Singaraja, lane boundary area of West Bali National Park. To the south of the highway to Hot Water Bishopscourt including the National Park area, while in the north is the area of Batu Ampar consisting of calcareous soil. Batu Ampar this region by the Buleleng regency levels have been planned as a new tourist area, given the potential for a big attraction, such as the Marine Park around the island.
The road to the hot water from the highway department Bishopscourt Singaraja-Gilimanuk are fastened, as well as parking facilities have been built. In the hot springs which ditanggul built a building with some enclosed bathroom. In Hot Water Banyuuwedang area there are also some toilet facilities built by the West Bali National Park, and some shelter. The number of tourists visiting the archipelago high compared with foreign nationals. Visitors who come mostly for the purpose of treatment. A visitor from the island of Java, mostly from Banyuwangi region.
Indeed Banyuwedang hot springs located in the midst of the mangrove forest on the edge of the beach. The surrounding area is relatively barren soil because the soil consists of limestone and the absence of river that makes the source of water for the surrounding greenery. Therefore a lot of growing plants are plants that do not require much water, as known in Bali as a tree "bekeul" or "bangyang". The existence of hot springs that contain sulfur which is located at the seaside is supported by a sparsely populated area that can be created quiet atmosphere, causing the Local Government of the Province of Bali will develop this area as an area of Tourism for Health, or commonly called "Health Tourism".
