Bale kul-kul is a part of every village component in Bali, it is located at the same place with the Bale Banjar where the council of the village meet.

Most commontly a four-poster pavilion on a tall, masoned stereobate, has one or more wooden drums hanging within it. The rhythm of the drumming varies according to the reason for the summons. Pavilion often straddles a wall corner.

The Kul-Kul is also for the warning or alarm for the villager in a war or nature disaster.
