Samsara Living Museum

Samsara is one of the beliefs held by Hindus, especially the Balinese people, about the stages of life marked by various ceremonies and traditional rituals that lead to the belief about the task of life as a human being in repeated births towards perfection.  

The Samsara Museum is a living museum. A warm and open space that guides every friend who comes to enjoy the beauty, wealth and celebrate the cultural values ​​inherited from ancestors, presented with love and joy. Located in Jungutan Village, Karangsem, Bali, we will be in an area of ​​two hectares with a shady green and calming atmosphere. Universal energy abounds, so many lessons can be learned and uploaded. Here, friends who come will gain experience and knowledge about various rituals in the life cycle of Balinese people. There is an introduction to various upakara along with the tools and accessories that support it, as well as the meaning behind each symbol. The flow of experience on a trip to the Samsara Museum will also invite friends who come to learn how to make upakara tools, make arak, bamboo weaving and many other fun experiences.

Friends who come can also see firsthand the various plants needed for upakara that are cultivated along with the necessary explanations.

One thing that should not be missed is the experience of being in the museum kitchen and preparing traditional food that is presented during ritual celebrations, including tasting the megibung atmosphere (a typical Karangasem meal together) which is full of kinship.

All experiences on the journey of enjoying the Samsara Museum will feel more complete when you are in the park which provides a space for interaction between friends who come. And pleasant memories of the museum atmosphere, not only to be stored in memories, but can be taken home with a variety of art objects and handicrafts. 

Let us make ourselves part of the effort to affirm and glorify the values ​​of ancestral heritage that can be used as a guide for the goodness of life for others created now and for the future.
