Kertha Gosa

Good afternoon, today I want to review one of the Attraction in the Klungkung regency, where I was born. The name is Kertha Gosa. Kerta Gosa is one of the attractions in Bali which is located in Klungkung Regency, precisely in the heart of Semarapura, the capital of Klungkung Regency. ()Kertha Gosa has become one of the mainstay attractions of Klungkung Regency because of the uniqueness and beauty of the buildings it owns. Kertha Gosa Klungkung is one of the many historic tourist attractions that must be preserved on the island of Bali. Designed with typical Balinese architecture and carvings tell the history of being a vacation location and learning history. No wonder this place is often crowded by tourists who want to admire its uniqueness. Formerly Kertha Gosa Klungkung was a building used as a place to hold discussions to discuss the welfare and prosperity of the people of Klungkung. This is in accordance with the meaning of the name "Kerta Gosa", where "Kerta" means welfare or prosperity, then "Gosa" means discussion or discussion place. The Kertha Gosa Klungkung building was built in 1686 by the first authority holder, Ida I Dewa Agung Jambe and is part of the Klungkung royal building complex. However, during the Dutch colonial period, Kertha Gosa was converted to a place of justice. Kertha Gosa is a very thick building with traditional Balinese elements. Kertha Gosa has two buildings or more commonly called Bale, Yatu Bale Kertagosa and Bale Kambang. When you are in Kertha Gosa you will see the uniqueness that you rarely encounter in other places, namely the bale ceiling covered by wayang paintings. The paintings illustrate the case being tried and what kind of punishment will be received if you make a mistake. In addition, the puppet painting also depicts the law of Karma Pahala or the results of the pros and cons of human actions carried out during his lifetime and reincarnation back to the world to atone for the sins committed. The beauty of the paintings on the bale roof is a traditional Kamasan-style painting. Kamasan itself is a village in Klungkung sub-district which is famous for its characteristics in the form of puppet paintings. Usually this Kamasan painting will take the theme of Ramayana or Mahabarata in his paintings.
