History Sukawati Village
Sukawati Village was originally a Timbul Forest. According to Babad Timbul Sukawati, the transformation of the emerging forest into Sukawati Village is told as follows In around the 18th century, an area under the rule of the Mengwi Kingdom consisting of rural pocket groups including; Cahu Pegambangan, Abasan, Langge and Laud was hit by a “gring grubug” epidemic which caused countless casualties.
The disaster was caused by the “Pangrista” whose spiritual knowledge was Ki Balian Batur who lived in the teledu nginyah/karangkadangkan forest, Ki Balian Batur came from the Sengghu Wintang Danu family (Lake Batur Valley).
Dalem was pleased to grant the request of the King of Mengwi, and sent his son I Dewa Agung Anom to kill Ki Balian Batur with the Heirloom Weapon Ki Sliksik Narantaka. Long story short, Ki Balian Batur fell along with his family and all his men.
As a reward, King Mengwi asked Dalem, so that his son I Dewa Agung Anom be allowed to be appointed as King in Bumi Timbul, upon that request Dalem agreed, I Dewa Agung Anom also upheld the command of his father Dalem.
As a devotee Tjokorda Sakti Belambangan presented the areas to the west of the Pakerisan River, to the east of the Ayung River stretching from the edge of Segara Kidul to the north to the foot of Mount Batur, to become the territory of the Bumi Timbul Kingdom.
During the Great Work of Ngenteg Linggih and Pamungkah at the Penataran Agung Temple, a crowd was held for 1 month and 7 days. Many “pengalu” came and chose to settle in Bumi Timbul because they really liked the sound of the gamelan that was played all day long. They always felt happy, by paying attention to the voice of the people’s conscience.
Dalem agreed to change the name Timbul to sukaadnyana, which was translated as Sukaati. In further developments, the pronunciation changed to Sukawati until now.

This Legong Dance has existed since ancient times which is thought to have been created and developed at the end of the 19th century which is more often performed in the kingdom to entertain the king or royal guests. On the island of Bali, this Legong Dance is called the Legong Keraton because this dance was only performed in the kingdom in the past.
The beginning of the Legong Dance in Bali started with a King of Sukawati with name I Dewa Agung Made Karna who reigned 1775-1825 AD, It is told that one time he was doing penance at Jogan Agung Temple, Ketewel village (Sukawati area) and he dreamed of seeing an angel dancing in heaven wearing a headdress made of gold.
The angel danced gracefully with very beautiful movements and every curve of the dance required a very perfect beauty. And finally he woke up from his dream and immediately headed to the kingdom and ordered the nagging bendesa to make some masks similar to the angels in his dreams and also ordered some expert dancers to make dance moves similar to the dances performed by the nymphs.
And the mask work was completed and nine sacred masks were made according to the request of the king Sukawati, and finally the first dance performance was performed under the name Sang Hyang Legong at the Jogan Agung temple where he performed penance and dreamed of dancing angels, the performance was performed by two dancers. women who have not menstruated, who are still pura.
