Penglipuran Village
Jl. Penglipuran, Kubu, Kec. Bangli, Kabupaten Bangli, Bali 80611
Row of matching bamboo gateways in a customary hill village, with one house yard kept empty as a taboo punishment.
This guide to Penglipuran Village in Bali walks the customary hill village's seventy-seven house yards and singles out the one plot set apart from the rest, karang memadu, reserved under the village's centuries-old law for a man who takes a second wife. It traces the awig-awig code and the exile it would mean for anyone who broke it. Best heard walking the lane toward the empty plot at the bottom of the slope.
