Futile suicidal stand of the rajasThis is a quite impressive public square, it commemorates the heroic but suicidal stand of the rajas of Badung against the invading Dutch in 1906. A monument depicts a Balinese family in heroic pose, brandishing the weapons that were so ineffective against the Dutch guns. The gardens are very attractive with floral beds, shrubbery, impressive trees, fountains, monuments and walkways throughout. Although there were many people in attendance on the day, including numerous high school students, an air of reverence pervaded the area. Worth negotiating with a good guide for a reasonably detailed history of the place and the genocidal practices of the Dutch during early settlement.
Second, the religious culture of Bali is fascinating. Indonesia basically believes in Islam, but only Bali believes in Hinduism. At the end of the 19th century, when the Dutch invaded, the local aristocrats and the people of Bali set themselves before the aggressors in Puptan Square, shocked Europe, forced the colonists to rule Huairou, and continued the Hindu civilization of Bali. So the island is full of Hindu statues, reliefs, patterns, also known as the "island of gods".
