Puri Agung Pemecutan
Puri Pemecutan dan Kobaran Api Perjuangan Tak Pernah Padam
Puri Agung Pemecutan di Jalan Thamrin, Denpasar boleh saja menjadi primadona arsitektur Bali kuno. Meskipun, api pernah melalap bangunan puri saat perang puputan melawan Belanda pada tahun 1906.
Ketika itu, Raja Gusti Ngurah Pemecutan memerintahkan rakyat untuk membakar bangunan puri sebelum perang dimulai. Belanda pun dibuat terkejut dengan perlawanan Puri Pemecutan yang seluruh raja dan rakyat turun langsung melawan Belanda dengan berpakaian serba putih.
Walaupun dengan semangat membara, Raja dan rakyat pada akhirnya terbunuh dihadapan Belanda disertai penampakan puri terbakar di belakangnya. Perang puputan!
Demi mengenang peristiwa perjuangan puputan rakyat Bali, Puri Agung Pemecutan dibangun kembali. Sebagai bukti kegigihan masyarakat Bali dalam menaklukan penjajahan Belanda. Pemecutan sendiri berasal dari kata pecut yang artinya cambuk, sebuah kata yang memaknai semangat masyarakat Bali saat itu.
Keberadaan puri ini sendiri cukup mudah ditemui sebab dibangun dengan aristektur kuno yang khas. Puri dibangun dari tumbukan batu bata merah dicampur batu paras dan atap ijuk. Mudah jika Anda ingin mengunjunginya. Lokasinya berdekatan dengan Pasar Seni Kumbasari yang merupakan tempat membeli beragam oleh-oleh khas Bali dan Pasar Tradisional Badung yang merupakan pasar terbesar di Bali.
Kejayaan Puri Agung Pemecutan pada masa lalu tergambar dengan jelas lewat luas bangunan yang kurang lebih sebesar 4,2 hektar are. Wilayah tersebut belum termasuk perluasan yang dilakukan ke sisi barat, utara, timur, dan selatan Puri Tanjung Pemecutan yang merupakan tempat tinggal putra-putra kerajaan.
Di sebelah barat puri terdapat gudang senjata bedil dan meriam. Di sebelah timur puri berdiri Jero Ukiran dan Jero Kanginan yang sekarang menjadi Puri Agung Pemecutan yang baru.
Arsitektur di Pura Pemecutan masih tergolong kuno dibangun semirip aslinya sebelum terbakar. Di sini terdapat halaman depan yang disebut sebagai Jaba Jeroning Cerangcang, Pada sudut bagian Barat ada Jaba Bale Gong sebuah tempat untuk menyimpan gamelan atau alat musik kuno. Ada juga dapur dan kamar untuk tempat tinggal keluarga kerajaan.
Bale kulkul yang terletak di selatan puri menjadi saksi bisu periwtiswa perang puputan. Sebab, satu-satunya bangunan yang keberadaanya masih utuh saat api melalap puri.
Saat ini, keberadaan Puri Pemecutan terbuka untuk wisatawan. Puri ini juga merupakan salah satu cagar budaya yang dilindungi pemerintah. Mari berwisata sejarah di Puri Agung Pemecutan, simbol pengingat api perjuangan rakyat Bali.

The Resilience of Puri Pemecutan and the Unfading Flame of Struggle
Puri Agung Pemecutan on Thamrin Street in Denpasar may well be a masterpiece of ancient Balinese architecture. However, this palace suffered a fire that consumed it during the battle against the Dutch in 1906.
At that time, King Gusti Ngurah Pemecutan ordered the people to set fire to the palace buildings before the war began. The Dutch were taken aback by the determined resistance of Puri Pemecutan, where the king and the people fought against them, all dressed in white. Despite their fiery spirit, the king and the people eventually perished in the face of the Dutch, with the palace in flames behind them. It was a puputan war!
In commemoration of this heroic struggle of the Balinese people, Puri Agung Pemecutan was rebuilt, as evidence of the determination of the Balinese community to resist Dutch colonialism. Pemecutan itself is derived from the word "pecut," which means a whip, symbolizing the spirit of the Balinese people at the time.
The presence of this palace is quite easy to find, as it was constructed with distinctive ancient Balinese architecture. Puri is built from red brick and stone mixture with thatched roofs. It's easy to visit; its location is close to Pasar Seni Kumbasari, a place to purchase various typical Balinese souvenirs, and Pasar Tradisional Badung, the largest market in Bali.
The grandeur of Puri Agung Pemecutan in the past is evident through its vast area, covering approximately 4.2 hectares. This area does not include the expansion that took place on the west, north, east, and south sides of Puri Tanjung Pemecutan, which served as the residence of the royal princes.
To the west of the palace, there is a warehouse for rifles and cannons. To the east of the palace stands Jero Ukiran and Jero Kanginan, which have now become the new Puri Agung Pemecutan.
The architecture at Pura Pemecutan is still relatively ancient, closely resembling its original form before the fire. Here, there is a front courtyard known as Jaba Jeroning Cerangcang. In the western corner, there is Jaba Bale Gong, a place for storing gamelan or ancient musical instruments. There are also kitchens and rooms for the royal family's residence.
The Bale Kulkul, located to the south of the palace, is a silent witness to the puputan war. It's the only building whose existence remains intact when the flames consumed the palace.
Today, Puri Pemecutan is open to tourists. It is also one of the cultural heritage sites protected by the government. Let's explore the historical wonders of Puri Agung Pemecutan, a symbol of the enduring spirit of the Balinese people's struggle.
