The red arrows (below) show the position
of two plaques, made by my grandfather
as remembrance of the opening of the watergarden in 1948. The inscription in
the Indonesian and Balinese language tells (left): “The construction of the Tirtagangga watergarden started on 2nd January 1948
by His Royal Highness Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem, King of
Karangasem. To be enjoyed by all nationalities who come to visit. May it
result in satisfaction. Not forgetting my thanks to the people of Karangasem
who’s contribution was unconditionally. Also to all officials, in particular Mr.
H. Snelleman, controller-government advisor for Karangasem for his
continuous advises during the completion. As general remembrance I add the
following signatures: Signature of the controller-government advisor.
Signature of the King of Karangasem”. And (right): “The swimming pools of Tirtagangga completed on 6th September 1948, exactly
on the day of the coronation of Her Majesty Juliana, Queen of The
Netherlands. Officially opened by Mr. Dr. M. Boon, governor of Bali
and Lombok on Saturday 18th September 1948”. |
