Kaja Kelod
Balinese sacred orientation axis mountainward and seawards used in layout logic, rituals, and space hierarchy.
Kaja points toward the mountain and kelod toward the sea in Balinese spatial understanding.
This orientation influences how homes and shrines are positioned, including where sacred versus everyday functions sit on a plot.
Design choices that respect local orientation logic are often easier to align with community expectations.
