Marga, Tabanan
Marga (Balinese: ᬫᬃᬕ), also known as Margarana (Balinese: ᬫᬃᬕᬭᬦ) is a exclave and landlocked district (kecamatan) of the Tabanan Regency of Bali, Indonesia.
It is the location of the Battle of Margarana, where Indonesian National Hero I Gusti Ngurah Rai was killed by Dutch forces during the Indonesian Revolution. This battle, in which 96 Indonesians were killed, has been characterized by Balinese writers as a Puputan, such as those of 1906–08.[1]
History
[edit]It is said that during his journey, a descendant of Sri Arya Sentong, named Ki Gusti Ngurah Pacung, conducted spiritual activities from Nusa Penida, where he built a temple complex, starting from Alas Kedaton, Pura Puser Tasik, to Pucak Padang Dawa. He also built a temple as a place of rule, later named Alas Urat Mara, where "Urat" means strength and "Mara" means new. This is where a new power emerged, and his village was named Taman Lebah. The name Urat Mara was later changed to Marga after a split in Puri Perean.
Marga has tourist attractions including Taman Pujaan Bangsa Margarana and Alas Kedaton.[2]
