Bale Kambung and Museum Daerah Semarapura
Near the Kerta Gosa, the
Bale Kambung
(Floating Pavilion), in the middle of the lotus pond,
was the venue for royal
tooth-filing ceremonies
. Its ceiling is slightly less finely drawn; six
levels of paintings cover Balinese astrology,
the tales of Pan Brayut
and, closest to the top,
the adventures of Satusoma, a Buddhist saint.
The
Museum Daerah Semarapura
at the back of the Taman Gili grounds contains a mot-
ley collection including
kris
(daggers), textiles and Barong costumes.
