Klungkung, Administrative regency in Bali, Indonesia

Klungkung extends across 315 square kilometers of land, incorporating the main Bali island territory and several offshore islands including Nusa Penida, Nusa Ceningan, and Nusa Lembongan.

The region functioned as the center of Balinese power during the Gelgel dynasty around 1400, reaching its peak under King Waturenggong by 1550 before relocating to Klungkung in 1710.

The Kertha Gosa Pavilion, part of the former royal palace complex, displays intricate ceiling paintings that illustrate traditional Balinese judicial proceedings and mythological narratives.

The administrative center of Semarapura connects to other Balinese regions through main highways and contains multiple government offices, traditional markets, and the Semarajaya Museum.

Kamasan village maintains the heritage of classical Balinese wayang painting, creating detailed artworks that depict stories from ancient Hindu epics using traditional techniques.
