Dalem Ketut

Ida Dalem Ketut Ngulesir, also known as Dalem Sri Smara Kepakisan or Sri Aji Smara Kepakisan, was the third King of Bali from the Kepakisan Dynasty who ruled from 1384 to 1458 AD (1306–1380 Saka). He was the fourth son of King Sri Aji Kresna Kepakisan and Queen Ni Gusti Ayu Tirta Gajah Para. He was crowned King of Bali after the royal council, led by Kyai Klapodyana, deposed his elder brother from the throne. He was also the first Balinese king to establish his court in Gelgel, initiating the Gelgel Kingdom period (1384–1651 AD). Under his reign, Gelgel rose from an old village to become the political center of Bali for four centuries.
