Banjar — — The Banjar subdistrict government in Buleleng has published a gallery entry documenting coordination on tradition data in Tigawasa and Sidetapa, two Bali Aga villages in the district.

The official page, titled Galeri Foto Koordinasi Data Tradisi di Desa Tigawasa dan Desa Sidetapa, confirms that the activity focused on tradition-related data and was published through the Kecamatan Banjar website under the Buleleng Regency Government. A separate Banjar government article describes Tigawasa and Sidetapa as part of Buleleng’s culturally distinctive Bali Aga cluster, alongside other villages in the Banjar area.

The gallery page does not identify the date of the coordination, the officials or village representatives involved, or the specific traditions being recorded. It also does not say whether the work is a new inventory, an update to existing records or part of a wider regency programme.

Banjar’s own cultural coverage shows the district has previously highlighted local traditions, including Sidetapa’s customary dress and Tigawasa’s bamboo craft and other heritage assets, underscoring the cultural significance of the two villages named in the gallery title. Another academic source on Buleleng’s Bali Aga villages also lists Tigawasa and Sidetapa among communities with distinctive traditional practices and cultural heritage.

Because the official gallery provides only the title and limited metadata, the public record does not yet show which customs were discussed, how the information will be used, or which office will maintain the data. What is confirmed is that Banjar officials posted a tradition-data coordination record naming Tigawasa and Sidetapa on the district government’s official portal.

Banjar, Buleleng — the district government has published a gallery entry on coordination of tradition data in Tigawasa and Sidetapa, two Bali Aga villages in northern Bali. The official page confirms the topic, but does not identify the participants, the date, or the specific traditions covered.
