Showcasing and celebrating local culture
Showing a reverence for Bali’s heritage, from on-site temples to guest entertainment, is a big part of life at Amankila. Padmasana Shrine is highly respected by all, especially our teams, who maintain its cleanliness, present offerings and host private ceremonies here. A Piodalan event – the shrine’s anniversary – is celebrated annually on Purnama Kedasa, the tenth full moon from the Saka calendar. In addition, the resort’s Kecak, Legong Nelayon, Legong Keraton, Cekepung and Wayan Kulit dance performances tell ancient tales with traditional music every week, while Mecaru ceremonies explain purification and cleansing in Balinese Hinduism.
