Indonesia : Bali : Regencies : Karangasem
Karangasem  Karangasem has a rich variety of older customs found in villages that resisted Javanese influences after the 14th century. The royal family, related to Gelgel, became independent and in the early 1700s, it challenged Klungkung. Internal strife led to exile and formation of a rival house in Lombok, which returned to defeat its own family in Bali and the taking of Buleleng.This ended when the Dutch subdued Buleleng in the mid 1800s, and a Dutch assisted rebellion in Lombok ousted the royal family in the late 1800s. By recognizing Dutch superiority, Karangasem remained intact when South Bali was conquered in the early 1900s. After mount Agung erupted in 1963 the capital changed names to Amlapura. |
