Of course, this location is in Penglipuran Traditional Village, Kubu Village, Bangli District, Bangli Regency, Bali. The name Penglipuran, according to the narration of the Traditional Elders, comes from the word penglipur which means to entertain, but some say, Penglipuran comes from the words 'pangeling' and 'Pura'. Pangeling means remembering and pura is interpreted as a house, so when combined it means remembering the ancestral land.

Regularity is the main thing that can be seen in Penglipuran Traditional Village. This very orderly layout cannot be separated from the highly respected concept, namely 'Tri Hita Karana'.
Tri Hita Karana is a concept that includes a harmonious relationship between man and God, a man with man, and man with the environment or nature. Macro-wise, this concept can be seen from the spatial layout of traditional villages which are divided into utama mandala (village temple in the north), madya mandala (residential area), and nista mandala (cemetery, and others in the south).
The Utama mandala is a place to harmonize human relations with God, the madya mandala is a place to harmonize human relationships with humans, and the nista mandala is a place to harmonize human relationships with nature.
Characteristics of Penglipuran Traditional Village
The orderly layout is very visible in the arrangement of the three mandalas which are very neat. In micro terms, the orderly concept can also be seen from the spatial layout of residential areas, and the arrangement stretches from east to west. At the very front of the settlement is also placed the family temple (sanggah or merajan), as the main part of the mandala. Once inside there is a kitchen (north, madya mandala) and bale sakenem. While at the back of the yard, there is a lodge/bale dauh or house and its supporting facilities, such as toilets, places to dry clothes, and cages (nista mandala). This arrangement is only carried out for residential areas located on the west side of the main road of the village.
