CELEBRATION OF I GUSTI N’GURAH RAI

In a nice demonstration of respect and admiration, the veterans of the Indonesian army organized on April 5 a poignant event to commemorate the heroic landing of one of the most revered figures in the country, Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai, in Pekutatan Beach during his Java-Bali expedition in 1946. The gathering took place against the backdrop of  Puri Dajuma, where a monument is now in honor of this momentous event.
