ramana Experience has launched the Rasayatra program, a culinary celebration that reflects the hospitality group’s commitment to continue presenting unforgettable culinary experiences for guests.
The inaugural edition of Rasayatra takes its inspiration from the Dharma Caruban lontar as the basis of culinary adoption.
The program’s began with a reading of the Dharma Caruban lontar by Ida Bagus Made Gunawan, a descendant of 14th-century Javanese poet Mpu Tantular who is known for actively advancing Balinese culture through the Samsara Living Museum.
Among the series of events was Rasayatra Talk, which brought together Pramana Experience’s CEO I Wayan Suarsa and Chef Ida Bagus Alit Sugiarta, as well as the Samsara museum’s Ida Bagus Made Gunawan. Pramana Experience marketing assistant director T. Cilik Pamungkas, a cultural researcher, served as the moderator.
Other events included a cooking demonstration by Chef Alit and a dinner featuring the various dishes recreated from the lontar.
"I am very happy and proud that Pramana Experience has started using the genuine, local culinary delights of Bali. With Rasayatra, this adds to Bali's local gastronomy while also proving that Bali as a world tourism destination is always committed to developing cultural genius," said Bali Tourism Office head Tjok Bagus Pemayun.
Meanwhile Ida Bagus Agung Gunarthawa, from event collaborator Samsara Living Museum, expressed his enthusiasm at being part of Rasayatra, as it shared the museum’s principle of grounding and actualizing age-old local values that have stood the test of time to reach the conclusion of a unified literacy in relation to life today.
CEO Wayan conveyed his commitment to continue Pramana Experience’s cultural exploration as the main pillar of its culinary experimentations. Wayan added that this was a way to participate actively in introducing genuine Balinese hospitality to the world while adding to Indonesia's unique repertoire of gastronomic tourism.
