Tenganan and the Double-Ikat Cloth

Tenganan Pegringsingan is home to the Bali Aga, people who trace their customs to before the arrival of the Majapahit court culture that shaped the rest of the island. The walled village keeps its own calendar of rituals.

Its weavers make geringsing, a double ikat in which both warp and weft threads are tie-dyed before weaving. The technique is practised in only a few places in the world.
