			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bali</strong> adalah sebuah pulau / provinsi yang terletak di negara Indonesia. Bali juga di kenal di dunia internasional sebagai pulau pariwisata yang sering di kunjungi oleh para wisatawan dari mancanegara khususnya bagi, orang jepang, orang ustralia, orang Amerika dan Eropa . Selain itu Bali juga di kenal sebagai pulau DEWATA oleh para penduduk indonesia, dan Bali juga dikenal dengan culiner seperti Babi guling ibu agung di ubud, bebek bengil dengan masakanya yang khas, pantainya yang indah,water sport, trecking, snorkeling, diving, rafting, spa, massage, bali safari park, Pasar sukawati dengan harga yang relative murah untuk segala jenis produk untuk souvenir khas Bali, dan banyak lagi tempat yang sangat menarik dikunjungi. Populasi penduduk Bali saat ini diperkirakan sekitar 4 juta jiwa, mayoritas penduduk bali menganut agama Hindu sebesar 92,3% dan sisanya menganut agama lain. Nama SUKAWATI udah ga asing lage bagi mereka yg pernah maupun belum pernah ke Bali. Sukawati adalah sebuah kecamatan di Kab.Gianyar. Sukawati juga nama desa. Sebenarnya, warga asli Sukawati adalah jagonya pembuat topeng khususnya topeng barong dan rangda serta perajin wayang kulit. Tapi ketenarannya kalah oleh hebohnya pasar seni yg ada disana yaitu Pasar Sukawati. ada 2 pasar Sukawati, istilahnya Sukawati 1 (lama) dan Sukawati 2 (baru). Sebenarnya Sukawati 1 adalah pasar yg lama dan saya tulis di blog ini, sedangkan Sukawati 2 adalah Pasar Seni Guwang yg jaraknya cuman 5km dari Sukawati 1. Tapi harga di Guwang lebih mahal dari Sukawati. Barangnya sama, lebih komplit malahan di Sukawati lama. Orang yg punya kios juga sama. Terserah anda mau jalan kemana, yang penting belanja murah dan happy…..LIHAT, COBA, TAWAR, COCOK, BUNGKUSSSS…………..Pasar ini terletak sekitar 30km arah timur Denpasar (40 menit drive dari Kuta), dipinggir jalan raya Sukawati. Kalau dari arah Denpasar, pasar seni ada di kiri jalan dan pasar tradisional ada dikanan jalan. Gampang banget nyarinya. Disini ratusan pedagang seni berkumpul menjajakan barang2 seni, mulai dari patung kayu, lukisan, kaos, celana pendek, tas, sandal, dll. Motifnya unik dan khas Bali. Cukup puyeng juga seh kalo masuk kesini, rame banget. Tapi kalau buat yg suka shopping, Sukawati adalah surganya.Di Sukawati WAJIB MENAWAR. Para pedagang biasanya akan buka harga tinggi. Jangan pake ragu, langsung ajah tawar ke CEBAN alias IDR 10.000.- Mereka ga marah kok, namanya juga menawar. Nah nanti silahkan dilanjutkan negosiasinya. Naikin penawaran jangan kelewatan, cukup dari 10rb jadi 11rb, kemudian naik lage 12rb dstnya sampai tawaran anda mentok. Kalo ga dikasi..cabut ajah, paling dipanggil nantinya ama yg jualan. Kalau ga dipanggil lage artinya tawaran anda ga masuk itungan modal beli dia hehehe..Kalo ajah masuk dan mereka dapat profit walau hanya 1000 perak doang, yakin anda dipanggil kok.  Belanja murah di Sukawati juga harus tetap memperhatikan kualitas barang. Mesti dicek bener kondisinya, jangan sampai ukurannya kekecilan dan tidak sesuai dengan yg terjahit dilabel, atau jahitannya jelek dan lepas. Bila perlu coba langsung disana, ga apa apa kok. Kalau sekedar buat oleh-oleh sih ga masalah. Cuman untuk dipakai sendiri, mendingan cari disekitar Kuta utk kaos-kaos, daster, atau celana pantai. Sandal manik-manik juga kualitasnya agak kurang bagus sih. Apalagi lukisannya, kualitasnya agak dibawah. Lebih baik cari lukisan di Batuan/Ubud, kualitasnya jauh. Secara umum, mode dan design yg ada di Sukawati kalah dibandingkan dengan Kuta, karena Kuta adalah pusatnya mode. Tentu saja harga juga beda  Jangan Lupa kontak saya kalau mau cari mobil + sopir , cuman Rp 350.000/9-10jam belum termasuk BBM, Mobil Kijang 1999, tempat duduk 6.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;color: #333333">Water has a special place in Balinese life, not only because of the vital role it plays bin irrigating th</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;color: #333333">e island`s rice fields, but also because of its ritual significance as an agent of purification. With its source in the volcanic lakes and rushing streams of the central mountain range, water is identified with the purity of the gods who dwell on high. Eventually, however, it flows to the sea where it enters the realm of greatest impurity. And along the way it picks up the dirt of man, both in the literal sense-the Balinese are very conscious of personal cleanliness and bathe themselves in running water several times a day- and also in terms of spiritual pollution. It is in this last respect that water acts as a purifying agent, cleansing man of his mortal sins and preparing his soul for a better reincarnation in the next life. Holy Water (tirtha) is the key ingredient in this scheme of things, being the principal means by which various forms of impurity are ritually washed down to the sea. The preparation of holy water is a sacrament of great importance in Balinese religion which the Balinese themselves often refer to as the agma tirtha, or `holy water religion`. The degree of potency of holy water is contingent on its source, the status of the person who prepares it, and the type of mantra employed in its preparation. The holiest of holy waters come from high up in the mountains and is prepared by high status Brahmana priest (pedanda). Sacred Bathing Places Every village has a recognized bathing place-either the nearby river or a community bath, with separate compartments for men and women to perform their ablutions. In addition, there are numerous sacred pools and bathing places whose waters are deemed to have magical or curative qualities. The central Balinese regency of Gianyar is particularly well-endowed with sacred bathing sites. The best known of these are Tirtha Empul, near the village of Tampaksiring, Pura Mengening, a little to the south, Telaga Waja and Goa Gajah, but there are several other sacred bathingt places in the vicinity of the Sungai Petanu and Pakerisan rivers which flow through Gianyar from the mountains in the north to the waters of the Straits of Badung in the south. <a title="tirtaempul" name="tirtaempul"></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;color: #333333"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Tirta Empul<br />
</strong>This beautiful water spring temple was built around 10th century under the rule of Sri Candra Singha Warmadewa. The spring that piped to three fountains complexes is believed to have been created by the God Indra, who descend to the earth to brought back the life of his army, which was poisoned by the demon-king Mayadanawa. The water source is located at a pool on a higher level where water bubbling up and plants growing on the bottom as well as fish and large ill can clearly be seen.</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;color: #333333"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: #000000">According to believe of the people, each fountains complex has their special religious functions. The complex located on most right sides is for spiritual purification; the one in the middle to cleanse from evil, meanwhile the left side one is an antidote to poison.</span></span></span></p>
