The pBadung-Denpasar, Tjokorda Ngurah Jambe Pemecutarincipality of Badung is in fact divided into 2 main raja branches of 1 dynasty: the one of Badung-Denpasar and the one of Badung-Pemecutan.
Because of historical developments the Denpasar-line had the opportunity to rule as paramount-ruler and the Pemecutan-line had more religious tasks. Then there was also the Badung-Kesiman line, which was ca. 150 years ago the most powerfull, but which withdrew from active politics of the total principality.
After the World War II the grandfather of the present Badung-Denpasar raja was asked to step down as paramount-ruler of Badung and the father of the present Badung-Pemecutan raja became his succesor.
In Bali you have the mebhiseka ratu rituals,which makes a raja a real monarch. Only a few dynastychiefs now are installed as such.But you can divide this ritual into 3 degrees. The mebhiseka ratu kecil(little), the mebhiseka ratu besar (big) and the mebhiseka ratu besar dan lengkap(most extended). The present Badung-Denpasar raja went through the last stage 25-11-2005.Before he was known as Tjokorda Ngurah Mayun Samirana.
He is not so really active in politics, but he has 2 cousins,who are Anak Agung Ngurah Ratmadi was before Bupati (districtchief) of Badung and his brother (former Lord Mayor of Denpasar town); Anak Agung Ngurah Puspayoga; won medio july 2008 the Governor elections for Bali.
This raja is however the chief of the Forum Silaturahmi Keraton se Nusantara( the Friendship Union of the Indonesian Palaces), which is the biggest representative organisation of the Indonesian dynasties.
When he was cornonated in 2005 they used a copy of the original glden crown is since the putting down of the Bali rebellion in 1906 onwards in a museum in Leiden. Maybe ever that will come back.
Both main rajas at least of badung have their own sphere of influence in Denpasar town for instance.The palace of the Badung-Denpasar raja is in the east of Denpasar. His oldest son is not installed as crownprince yet,because he still much learn a lot of the traditions of the royal court.
 

Badung - Kesiman-Anak Agung Ngurah Kusuma Wardana

He is chief of one of the sovereign branches of BadunBadung   Kesiman, Anak Agung Ngurah Kusuma Wardana g principality. Ca. 1860 the Raja of Badung - Kesiman was the most powerfull Raja of Badung. Ca. 1900 he was already back in his palace and left the real rule of Badung to the 2 other branches. He is local politician.
Known as a quite friendly man. Is not seeking any political power, or recognition fanatically.

Because tBuleleng-Anak Agung Ngurah Ugrasenahe Dutch already put direct rule in Buleleng in 1872 after the deposition of the then monarch the relgious influence of the west also was more strong than elsehere on Bali. The last Raja of Buleleng became protestant Christian, but some of his familymembers remained Hindu, like the present dynastychief of Buleleng, who is a grandson of the last raja. The dynasty still has not decided fully, that he wil be the new king of Buleleng, because they want, that he must proff himself as a good and non-egoistic monarch.
He is doing much into tourism and is f.i. chief of the local board of tourism.
When the monarchies of Bali were restored in 1937, the greatgrandfather of the present dynastychief was put on the throne.He already was ruling then for 8 years as semi-independent monarch of Buleleng.

Karangasem was befoKarangasem, Anak Agung Gde Sudewa Djelantik re very powerfull; ruled several other principalities like Buleleng in the north of Bali and nearby lying island of Lombok.
Some kings on Bali are really functioning as king, ohters also like to function as scientific scholars like this raja.
Karangasem was before the biggest friend of Holland, the most friendly principality concerning political- and social developments and the most modern (but with a strong feeling for it's local culture).

His uncle Dr. Anak Agung Made Djelantik was for a time the unofficial chief of the dynasty,but when he found himself too old for that some years, he took up his rightfull position.
Karangasem always was good in taking the good things of the Eastern- and the Western culture.

Ida Cokorda AnglurTabanan, Ida-Cokorda-Anglurahah Tabanan; 27th raja of Tabanan in W-Bali.
Tabanan was before a rather important principality and sometimes called the most powerfull. Hardly any rajas on Bali are now installed with the full installation ceremonies, but this raja is. On 21-3-2008 installed with the abisekha ratu ceremony.
Also very interesting to see,that also quickly after that the king appeared during all kind of occasions as the symbol of redoing the old ceremonies in Tabanan. Actually he is not the oldest son of the last raja of Tabanan, but his older brother died in 2001 and then he was installed as dynastychief.
