 The
Balinese have strong spiritual roots , their culture is
still very much alive. The main religion is Hindu Dharma, which
arrived in Bali with the spread of Hinduism through Sumatra
and Java during the 11th century. Although originally from India,
the Balinese religion is a unique blend of Hindu, Buddhist,
Javanese and ancient indigenous beliefs, with customs that are
very different from the traditional form of Hinduism practiced
in India today. With the arrival of Islam in neighboring Java
during the 15th century, a large member of courtiers, artists,
musicians and craftsmen fled to Bali, creating an artistic renaissance.
Naturally creative, the Balinese have traditionally used
their talents for religious purposes and most beautiful work
to be seen here has been inspired by stories from Ramayana and
other Hindu epics. The incredibly colorful cremation pyres and
the everyday offerings to the Gods, placed inside every shop
and business, are made with precision and an eye of beauty.
In Bali spirits come out to play in the moonlight, every night
is a festival and even a funeral is an opportunity to have a
good time |
