BALI - Community achieves wonders in Tirtagangga fest

The jakarta post, 11-1-2007

The Tirtagangga water garden was built for the people by the King of Karangasem, Anak Agung Anglurah Agung Ketut, in 1946.
Geredeg touched on the value of festivals such as Tirtagangga 1 in Bali's tourism recovery drive.
"Not less important is the recovery, or developing, of an appreciation of art and culture in communities and also strengthening the identity of our local culture as part of the nation's fundamental base," he stressed. "We need to develop and maintain that culture which may attract local and overseas tourists."
Geredeg added that the festival was a credit to the local community that had come together to create the first Festival Tirtagangga, which is to be held annually.
