Balinese Culture

The Core Foundation of Bali and the Balinese

The Balinese culture and Hindu customs are probably are affecting almost every aspect of life on the island. The unique mix between Hindu-Dharma and domestic customs has lead to a vast variety of art and a long tradition of artists and masters. Masterpieces of art can easily be found in every corner of Bali. Bali’s culture can still be felt everywhere; from museums to hotel lobbies and of course, the temples, where Balinese honor their ancestors and the spirit world, and perform religious rituals based on the ancient Balinese calendar. People wearing their ceremonial attires is a common sight.

The majestic musical performances and traditional dance shows have also become one of the must-does in Bali – for very good reasons. In a way, whatever Balinese do within the broad idea of culture is connected to the concept of being connected with gods and deities, ancestors and honoring their role in the cosmos. That passion and that conviction created incredible artists – local and some international.
