List of monarchs of Bali

Last updated

This is a list of monarchs of the Bali Kingdom , an island in the Indonesian archipelago. Included are, first, rulers on an island-wide level, and, second, rajas of minor states that arose in the 17th and 18th centuries. The sequence and dates of the rulers are not always securely documented, and conflicting statements may be found in various textbooks. The following list is based on epigraphic records, Balinese chronicles (babad), and data supplied by Dutch colonial sources.

Balinese royal lineages and monarchies claim to continue to exist in Bali; however, due to Indonesian postcolonial governance, the prerogatives of the original rulers of Bali were suppressed in the decade after the Revolution. Hinduism has remained an integral part of the Balinese monarchies and culture, despite issues involving Dutch invaders and Indonesian central authorities and military.
