| The Sanur area, the beach
front of Denpasar now extending from Sanur westwards
to the Suwung marshes and Serangan island, is steeped
in history. The Blanjong, written in Sanskrit in 913,
is the oldest inscription of its kind in Bali. It tells
of the founding of a Buddhist monastery. Other traces
of contact with the outside world persists to this day.
The villages of Renon, on the road to Denpasar, and
Semawang, near Sanur Beach hotel, still host a Baris
Cina dance, with warriors wearing Portuguese-like 16th
century helmets, perhaps the sign of early European
contact.
Sanur was for centuries an important trading place.
Nearby Serangan island has a Moslem community of Bugis
fishermen, descendants from the famous seafaring traders
of old. But it is best known for the inland Brahmin
communities of Taman and Anggarkasih, inside elaborately
gated compounds, who are believed to use magic. These
people were also staunchly independent, and when the
Dutch landed in 1906 on their way to Denpasar, they
allowed the troops to pass by peacefully, having a grudge
against their own ruler, thus avoiding the puputan tragedy.
