•Margarana Memorial Park:
Located 2km to the west of Marga, on the Mengwi - Bedugal road, the Margarana Memorial Park commemorates the sacrifice Balinese people made towards Indonesian Independence after WWII. One of the great figures in Balinese history is Gusti Ngurah Rai, who led a band of locals to the slopes of Gunung Agung, to fight the Dutch is a guerilla style campaign. His last stand was November 20th 1946, in the village of Marga and is known as ‘Margarana puputan‘ (fight to the death). Ngurah Rai and his 96 men were all killed and he came to represent the spirit of the Balinese resistance. The site of this historic event has been tuned into the Taman Pujaan Bangsa Margarana and it dedicated to all of the Balinese fighters who lost their lives in the name of freedom, between 1945-1950. This park is a must see for every Balinese school kid, but receives little tourist attention. Inside the park is a shrine in honor of Ngurah Rai and a photograph of him, together with statues of independence fighters. There are also the words of his final letter ending in “Freedom or death.”
