THE PATTERN SINGARAJA REGENCY-INSPIRED
Songket Beratan, a traditional Balinese fabric from Buleleng, carries deep cultural significance in the daily lives of the Balinese people. Known for its intricate craftsmanship, Songket plays a vital role in religious, social, and economic activities, particularly in ceremonies like Manusa Yadnya (weddings, tooth filing, and other rites), where it symbolizes respect and tradition. Originating from the village of Beratan in Buleleng, Songket Beratan is crafted using techniques passed down through generations. It represents a rich heritage and artistic creativity, where each weave tells a story of Buleleng’s enduring cultural legacy.
Artist Pak Made Wartawan drew inspiration from this heritage to create the pattern seen here. The design reflects Buleleng’s deep-rooted traditions, inviting the viewer on a journey of discovery through the region. This pattern acts as a gateway, leading to the highlights of Buleleng—an adventure for the body, mind, and soul.
