Welcome to Taman Village, Bali!

Welcome to our village, Taman. It is a small village that lies on the altitude of 300 m above sea level, inhabited by about 5,000 people and divided into 7 sub-villages. Most of the people are farmers where they grow rice, corn, peanut, cocoa, coconut and other tropical fruit trees are widely grown here in the village. Our village is very self-sufficient of foods as we grow most of our food supplies. It is our welcoming statue of Dewi Sri as the goddess of Rice in our Balinese Hindu Religion. We have the statue of Dewi Sri because our village is mainly living on farming. We pray the she always bless our crops and our soil with prosperity and fertility.

Rice Farm.


We are surrounded scenic rice paddies, a very peaceful and harmonious panorama that always give us a new energy to continue our daily routine with no stress. Our local farmers have been farming rice for hundreds of years and have been preserving the irrigation system for same period of time. With our great natural irrigation system, we can grow rice all year round. Our farmers have a great respect to natural resources such as water so ceremonies are always conducted periodically.

Starting from school children and adults are involved in the work of craftsmanship to support their life and in preserving the art itself to be passed down to the next generation. Patient and hard work are being a part of our daily life and are shown in the people artworks as a reflection of our religion and culture.
