Taman Ujung Sukasada History
Taman Ujung Sukasada was built by the King of Karangasem in 1919 and completed in its entirety in 1926 before Indonesia became independent. Taman Ujung Karangasem is a tourist destination in the East Bali region which was built in the Dutch era at the instruction of one of the Kings of Karangasem, namely I Ketut Gusti Jelantik. It is called the Water Palace because water plays a very important role in this life, as 80% of the human body consists of water. In essence, life in this world cannot live well without water, especially according to the teachings of Hinduism that water is used to make holy water to cleanse the Bhuana Agung and Bhuana Alit. So that’s where Taman Soekasada Ujung is located in a lot of springs.
That’s why the pools are sourced from freshwater springs as well as close to seawater. Seawater has a very large role to attract solar energy which will later be blown out through the wind towards the land to help life on land. That is why foreign guests who come to Bali are very happy to rest near the Sea. The geographical position of Taman Soekasada Ujung is near the sea. Taman Soekasada Ujung is one of the tourist attractions in Karangasem regency which has a unique and very meaningful history for the government of Karangasem regency, to be used as a basis for tourism promotion and gain knowledge of good leadership.
The king who is very devoted to literary and religious teachings named Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem as the founder of Taman Soekasada Ujung is a writer, artist and also an architect. The King’s thinking to build this Park is to education or transformation from a leader to implement good governance. So the buildings built in Taman Soekasada Ujung are symbols of good governance taken from Nitisastra teachings. The water palace which has its own floating palace was built as a gift for the Empress. After having suffered severe damage due to the eruption of Mount Agung in 1963, the local government of Bali finally carried out a major renovation to rebuild the water palace as the original form. This renovation was completely completed in 2003 and finally officially opened as one of the mainstay tourist attractions in the East Bali region.
