Welcome Home

Bulian Village

In the eyes of the world, Bali may be considered as a wealthy island because of its rich land, culture and tradition, amazing art works as well as the beauty of the landscape and marine life. In fact, yes, it is, because besides agriculture and fishery, Bali is also very successful in developing and promoting tourism industry which has given many contributions to the country in general. But, far in the North part of Bali, away from the crowd of glamour city life and commercial tourist trap, there is an old mysterious village with its own original unique culture and tradition. The village is called BULIAN, a small quiet and unspoiled isolated village. So far, this village is considered as a "Lost Kingdom" and "The Land of Curse" but a blessing for outsiders. In fact, many top leaders and important person have come to Bulian Village and pray for a certain blessing while the Bulian people themselves are still living in misery because of the curses.

Not many people know Bulian Village, not even written in most Bali Map because of its isolated location and not much heard about this village. The population now is about 3.000 or about 800 families but many of them are going out for a living. The rest stay home in the village with their very simple daily life style as dry farmers who grow corn, cassava, peanut, mangoes, rambutan, coconut, beans and a little rice only during rainy season.

Unlike the rest of the villages in Bali, Bulian is considered to be a mysterious and very old village as well. Their spiritual life is much influenced by its unique tradition and belief based on mysterious spiritual history which goes from generation to generation. The village was cursed a few times by some different holy spirits incarnation (the visible god) because the people did not believe in them. Not yet to mention some other curses from other villages for different mistakes. In short, this village is full of curses in the past which have affected its existence in the present time. Now, there has just been built a temple of the curse named "GUNUNG MANIK SARI TEMPLE" and a purification temple called "MAJAGANA TEMPLE" to release and purify the village from all curses in the past. All our brothers and sisters in Bulian Village are now expecting a new life with new hopes and dreams to be like the rest of people in Bali.
