Bungabali

Bungabali was a kingdom of the Alor and Pantar island world, east of Flores. Oral traditions remember the arrival of ancestors from across the sea and the establishment of a ruling house at Alor Besar. Bungabali belonged to an alliance known as Galiyao Watan Lema, or the five coastal lands, with neighbours including Kui, Pandai and Baranusa. Stories of these alliances recall connections reaching westward to Solor as well as between the islands around Alor.
