The Balinese Aga, or Bali Mula, villages are home to the island’s indigenous communities, who are considered the original inhabitants of Bali. These villages have preserved unique traditions, social structures, and architectural styles that predate the arrival of Hindu-Javanese influences.
Architecturally, Bali Aga villages are characterized by compact layouts, stone-walled compounds, and the absence of the grand temple complexes seen in other parts of Bali. The layout of these villages often follows ancient spatial arrangements that emphasize communal harmony and natural elements.
