regency of Indonesia, on island of Bali
About Klungkung
This is the administrative capital of the regency with the same name. Gelgel, just to the south of Klungkung, was the seat of the mighty Majapahit empire in the 15th and 16th century which moved to Klungkung in the 17th century. This was a golden age for art and culture in Bali, and Klungkung was the centre of it all. Klungkung forever made its mark in modern Balinese history when in 1908, it was the last kingdom holding out against the Dutch invaders. Hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned, the King of Klungkung (theDewa Agungor great god) led 200 members of his family and court in apuputan(ritual march to death), into the face of the Dutch guns. All of the group were either killed or committed ritual suicide.
