History of Balinese Building and it's function

HI Hello everyone .

In Bali we still believed the Local Genius Method and how we prefer and choice a Good day Of processing the wood for Building and Choice the right day of it. ( we call it DEWASA AYU ) Because Every single activities In Bali has to Be balance with the Culture and the nature as well. Also we Believed the God/Lord of the Builder ( It called Ida Bhagawan Waiswakarma ) before we build every Balinese Structure/Building has to get a permit and make a hope with it for any succeed , work well, Good Looking/authoritative of the Building ( we called it TAKSU ) . After that it start to process it.

before we process the Building we have to know which building has to renovated or build it. because in the Balinese Yard we have a different function and Name . The Simple yard we have . Family temple ( Merajan ) , Bale Daja ( north building for The Older Family be able to stay there ) , Bale dangin ( East Building , For any kind of human Procession ceremonial ) , Bale Delod ( South Building , It's usually build a Kitchen ) , Bale Dauh ( west Building . it's for Living Room ) . For Example if we would like to renovated the East Building. it has a special measurement, From the Poles, how height the Building and have to be really careful with the distance to any other Building. we are believed it will be come a bad result for the healthy, prosperous , the Economic and any other Problem . Then we have to Follow the Rules of the Structure from the Balinese Measurement ( Hasta kosala kosali ) .

Alright then. That"s a bit about the Balinese building and Structure .
