 Denpasar
is
Bali's
capital
city.
Although
the
modern
centre
of
government
departments,
international
banks,
and
many
other
offices,
it
still
retains
its
unique
Balinese
personality.
This
is
strongly
felt
and
clearly
seen
in
its
many
temples,
universities
and
pleasant
gardens,
which
still
maintain
their
presence
and
influence.
Denpasar
has
the
Pura
Jagatnatha,
a
temple
dedicated
to
Bali's
Supreme
God,
Sang
Hyang
Widi.
There
are
interesting
statues
of a
turtle
and
two
mystical
dragons
in
the
temple,
signifying
the
foundation
of
the
world.
The
Pura's
awesome
architecture
resembles
that
of
Balinese
palace.
It
has
now
been
converted
into
a
museum
housing
a
fine
collection
of
prehistoric
and
modern
art.
The
famous
4th
century
Pura
Maospahit,
is
right
next
to
Pura
Jaganatha. |

|

There
is
also
an
interesting
place
like;
the
government-supervised
art
centre,
Sanggraha
Kriya
Hasta,
which
also
home
to a
tremendous
variety
of
handicraft
and
works
of
art.
Taman
Wedhi
Budaya,
meanwhile,
is
an
arts
centre
with
occasional
exhibits
of
paintings,
crafts
and
carvings,
and
holds
traditional
dances
every
evening.
It
is
also
the
host
of
the
annual
Bali
Arts
Festival
in
June
to
July,
with
performances,
exhibitions,
art
contest,
and
other
activities
of
artistic
nature. |

The
main
street
of
Denpasar
start
with
Gajah
Mada
Street
in
the
west,
Surapati
Street
in
the
centre,
followed
by
Hayam
Wuruk
Street
and
ends
as
Raya
Sanur
Street
in
the
east.
There
are
many
things
of
history
and
culture
to
see.
The
Puputan
Square,
with
its
heroic
Catur
Mukha,
fondly
commemorates
the
Balinese's
suicidal
stand
against
the
Dutch.
Until
today,
it
is
touchingly,
a
popular
meeting
place
for
locals
in
the
evenings. |
