Festivals & Events
Every May or June, Singaraja is host to the Bali
Art Festival of Buleleng . Over one week dancers
and musicians from some of the region's most
renowned village troupes, such as those of
Jagaraga, perform. In August, the North Bali
Festival thrills locals with events such as the
tongue-twisting 'Miss & Master Beauty &
Brains Contest'. Consult with the Diparda
tourist office (opposite) for details on both.

tablished in 1928 by Dutch colonialists and
named after the Sanskrit word 'to try'. It has a
collection of lontar (dried palm leaves) books
(see p234), as well as some even older written
works, in the form of inscribed copper plates
called prasasti . Dutch publications, dating
back to 1901, may interest students of the
colonial period.

prince) of Buleleng, Pandji Tisna, who is
credited with developing Lovina's tourism.
Among the items here is the Royal (brand)
typewriter he used during his career as a travel
writer (obviously, the rajah was a smart, if
poorly remunerated guy) before his death in
1978. It also traces the history of the region
back to when there was no history.
