Anak Agung Pandji Tisna: Biography, Facts and Career

Anak Agung Pandji Tisna (Balinese: ᬅᬦᬓ᭄​ᬅᬕᬸᬂ​ᬧᬦ᭄ᬤ᭄ᬚᬶ​ᬢᬶᬲ᭄ᬦ; 11 February 1908 – 2 June 1978), also known as Anak Agung Njoman Pandji Tisna, I Gusti Njoman Pandji Tisna, or just Pandji Tisna, was the 11th descendant of the Panji Sakti dynasty of Buleleng, Singaraja, which is in the northern part of Bali, Indonesia. He succeeded his father, Anak Agung Putu Djelantik, in 1944. On the last page of Pandji Tisna's book, I Made Widiadi, written in 1955, he wrote his life story in chronological order. He was a writer and a novelist. He refused to be the king of Buleleng, but being the eldest son, the Japanese occupancy troops forced him to be "syucho" after the death of his father in 1944. During his reign, he became the leader of the Council of Kings of all of Bali from 1946 to 1947 (Paruman Agung) and the Regent of Buleleng. In 1947, because his uniquely Christian faith did not fit in with the predominant Hindu religion, Pandji Tisna surrendered the throne to his younger brother, Anak Agung Ngurah Ketut Djelantik or I Gusti Ketut Djelantik, also known as Meester Djelantik, until 1949. He died 2 June 1978 and was buried in the graveyard on the eastern side of his land near the chapel he built years before.
