Sekaa Gong Wanita Mekar Sari

Sekaa Gong Wanita Mekar Sari was formed in 1986 at Puri Kaleran, Peliatan, as a result of the efforts of the late Anak Agung Gede Mandera. All of the members of this group are women from the village of Peliatan, and this group was formed primarily for the purpose of developing the women's musical skills and talents and enriching the music and dance repertoire available in Peliatan.

In addition to presenting routine tourist performances, Mekar Sari also performs at social and religious functions when requested.
