<span><i>Kraton</i> or the Palace
where Sultan and his family of Yogyakarta live is located in the center
of the axis stretching from the north to the south, and in the
secondary axis from the east to the west. It is encircled by row of the
mountains called the Horizon as the border of the universe.</span><br />
<h2>
<span>YOGYAKARTA PALACE (KRATON)<br />A Living Museum of Javanese Culture and The Place Where The King of Jogja Lives</span></h2>
<span>Kyai Brajanala bell chimes several times, its voice not
only filled but heard up to Siti Hinggil and Bangsal Pagelaran
Yogyakarta Palace. While in Sri Manganti, the chanting in Javanese
ancient language is heard being sung by a palace servant. An old book,
offerings, lanterns, and gamelan lay in front of him. Some foreign
tourists seem to listen to macapat song solemnly, and sometimes they are
looked pressing the shutter button to take pictures. Although did not
know the meaning of the song, I also sat in the front row. Javanese song
sound that floated slowly mixed with fragrance of flowers and incense
smoke, created a magical atmosphere that created a complacent. On the
right side appeared 4 other palace servants who took turn preparing to
sing. Outside the pavilion, the birds chirped noisily while flew from
the sapodilla tree tops which usually grow in Yogyakarta Palace complex
and then landed on the grass.</span><br />
<span>Keraton Kasultanan Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat or now
better known by the name of Yogyakarta Palace is the center of Javanese
culture living museum that is in the Special Region Yogykarta (Daerah
Istimewa Yogyakarta). Not just becomes the place to live for the king
and his family, the palace is also a main direction of cultural
development of Java, as well as the flame guard of the culture. At this
place tourists can learn and see directly on how the Javanese culture
continues to live and be preserved. Yogyakarta Palace was built by
Pangeran Mangkubumi (Prince Mangkubumi )in 1755, several months after
the signing of the Perjanjian Giyanti (the Agreement Giyanti). Banyan
forest (Hutan Beringin) was chosen as the place for building the palace
because the land was between two rivers that were considered good and
protected from possible flooding. Although already hundreds of years old
and were damaged by the massive earthquake in 1867, Yogyakarta Palace
buildings still stand firmly and well maintained.</span><br />
<div style="display: inline; float: left; margin-right: 10px;">
</div>
<span>Visiting Yogyakarta Palace will provide both valuable
and memorable experience. The palace that became the center of an
imaginary line connecting Parangtritis Beach and Mount Merapi has 2
booth doors. The first in Tepas Keprajuritan (in front of Alun-Alun
Utara), and in Tepas Tourism (Regol Keben). If entering from Tepas
Keprajuritan, visitors can only enter Bangsal Pagelaran and Siti Hinggil
and see a collection of some palace carriages, if entering from Tepas
Pariwisata, then you can enter Sri Manganti complex and Kedhaton where
there is Bangsal Kencono (Kencono Ward) that is the main hall of the
kingdom. The distance between the first and second booth door was not
far, just by walking down Jalan Rotowijayan, visitors can walk or ride a
rickshaw.</span><br />
<span>There are many things that can be seen at Yogyakarta
Palace, ranging from the activity of servants in the palace who are
doing the job or to see properties collection of the palace. Collections
are kept in glass boxes that are spread various rooms ranging from
ceramics and glassware, weapons, photographs, miniatures and replicas,
to various kinds of batik and its deorama of the making process.
Furthermore, tourists can also enjoy the art performances with different
schedules each day. The show starts from the human puppet, macapat,
puppet show, shadow puppets, and dances. To enjoy art performances,
tourists do not need to pay additional costs. If you come on Tuesday
Wage, you can watch Jemparingan or archery competition in Mataraman
style in Kemandhungan Kidul (South Kemandhungan). Jemparingan is
conducted for the heritage of Sri Sultan HB X. The uniqueness of this
jemparingan is that every participant must wear Javanese traditional
clothing and archery in a sitting position.</span><br />
<span>After enjoying the show macapat, YogYES headed around
the the palace complex and went into batik museum which was inaugurated
by Sri Sultan HB X in 2005. The museum collection is quite diverse
ranging from a variety of batik cloth up to the equipment to make batik
from the HB VIII up to HB X. In addition, in the museum, several
collections of gifts from a number of batik entrepreneurs in Yogyakarta
and other areas were stored. While enjoying the museum's collection,
YogYES’ sight was on one of the old wells that were built by Sultan
Hamengkubuwono VIII. On top of a well that has been closed using
aluminum netting, there are writings that prohibit visitors to put in
money. Being curious with the intention of the sentence, YogYES moved
closer and looked into the well, it turned out that at the bottom of the
well there are coin and paper money were scattered.</span><br />
<span>Being satisfied walking around the palace, YogYES
stepped out Regol with cheerful hearts. On the way to the parking lot, a
sign that offers classes to learn nembang / macapat, write and read
Javanese letters, classical dance, and to learn how to be a puppet
master was appeared. Apparently, in Yogyakarta Palace complex, there are
several Javanese culture and art course centers or learning centers.
YogYES, then promised that someday would come back to learn how to spell
and write hanacaraka letters and learn to dance.</span><br />

<span>Coming from the Sanskrit language which means bouquet
of flowers, Malioboro becomes flower that its charm is able to attract
tourists. Not only full of stories and memories, Malioboro also becomes
souvenir paradise in the heart of Jogja.</span><br />
</div>
<h2>
<span>MALIOBORO<br />Down The Road of Flower Bouquet and Souvenir Paradise in The Heart of Jogja</span></h2>
<span>The sun was beating down as thousands of people crowded
along Malioboro street. They did not just stand on the sidewalk but
they ran over up to the road. The atmosphere was so noisy and hectic.
Bubbling laughter, screaming car horns, the strains of gamelan cassette,
up to shouting traders selling food and toys for children blended into
one. After waiting for hours, finally, the expected carnival troupe
appeared. Started by Bregada Prajurit Lombok Abang, royal carriage
convoy began to walk slowly. All squeezing wanted to see the couple of
GKR Bendara and KPH Yudhanegara who continuosly waved and spreaded a
friendly smile.</span><br />
<span>That scene was seen as the party of Kirab Pawiwahan
Ageng of Sultan Hamengku Buwono X's youngest daughter from Yogyakarta
Palace headed to Bangsal Kepatihan. Thousands of people crammed filling
Malioboro Street that stretches from north to south. In Sanskrit,
Malioboro means flower bouquets because in the ancient times when the
Palace held an event, a mile-long road would be filled with flower
bouquets. Although time passed and the era has changed, Malioboro
position as the main street where a variety of carnival and celebration
being held has never changed. Until now Malioboro, Vredeburg Fort, and
Zero Point remain a venue for a variety of carnival starting from the
event of Jogja Java Carnival, Chinese Cultural Week, Yogyakarta Arts
Festival, Carnival Malioboro, and many others.</span><br />
<div style="display: inline; float: left; margin-right: 10px;">
</div>
<span>Before it turned into a busy street, Malioboro was a
quiet road with a tamarind tree growing on the right and left. This road
was just passed by people who wanted to go to the Palace or complex
areas such as First Indische first in Yogyakarta, for instance, Loji
Besar (Vredeburg Fort), Loji Kecil (area next to the Great Hall/Gedung
Agung), Loji Kebon (Great Hall/Gedung Agung), as well as Loji Setan
(Office of the Parliament/DPRD office). But the existence of Pasar Gede
or Beringharjo Market on the south side and the presence of Chinese
ethnic residential in Ketandan area gradually boosted the economy in the
region. Chinese group made Malioboro as its business canal, so the
trade area which was originally based in Beringharjo and Chinatown
eventually expanded to the north to Stasiun Tugu (Tugu Train Station).
Seeing Malioboro rapidly growing into the pulse of trade and shopping
centers, a friend said that Malioboro is the baby talk for "mari yok
borong (let’s buy a lot)". In malioboro you can buy desirable range of
merchandise ranging from beautiful accessories, unique souvenirs,
classic batik, gold and gems to household appliances. For souvenir fans,
Malioboro can be a fun hunting paradise. Walking on the shoulder of the
road while bargaining a variety of goods sold by street vendors, will
be a special experience. Variety of locally made souvenirs like batik,
rattan ornament, silver, bamboo handicrafts, leather puppets, blangkon,
miniature of traditional vehicles, accessories, until key chains, all
can be found easily. If you are good in bargaining, these items can be
taken home with a fairly cheap price.</span><br />
<span>Besides being a trading center, the road which is part
of the imaginary axis that connects Parangtritis Beach, Panggung
Krapyak, Yogyakarta Palace, Tugu, and Mount Merapi was once a nest as
well as perfoming stage by Malioboro artists lead by Umbu Landu
Paranggi. From them also, the culture of sitting on the sidewalk was
popularized that eventually rooted and is identical to Malioboro.
Enjoying a romantic dinner in the sitting stalls while listening to
other street artist singing the song "Yogyakarta" from Kla Project will
be an experience that is marked in heart. Malioboro is a series of
history, stories and memories that are intertwined in the minds of every
person who ever visited. The charm of this road had never faded by
time. The exoticism of Malioboro continues glowing until now and
inspires many people, and forces them to keep coming back to Yogyakarta.
As beginning sentence in Melodia poem created by Umbu Landu Paranggi
"Love that makes me feel at home occasionally lasts", memories and love
of many people towards Malioboro that makes this road continues
persisting until now.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">Situated
in a picturesque plain dotted with archaeological monuments amongst
rice paddies and villages, you will probably be impressed by the Hindu
Prambanan temple complex before you even pull in to the park, the height
and pointed architecture of the temples gives an impressive welcome.</span></span></div>

<div class="article_column column1 cols1">
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">The
sheer number of temples within the Prambanan Complex is extraordinary,
the site is structured in a series of three ‘squares’ which radiate out
in size.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="http://www.borobudurpark.com/AppManual/inti/content/manualimageimage/pramb_squares.jpg" style="height: 233px; width: 602px;" /><br />
<br />
A raised central square, has a total of 11 temples, of various
sizes, the largest being the Siva (Shiva) temple which towers
dramatically at close to 50 metres high. It is flanked by temples
honouring the gods Vishnu and Brahma. Three smaller temples sit in front
of the larger temples and each of these is dedicated to the ‘vehicles’
or transportation of the gods represented: Nandi, the bull, for Siva;
Hamsa, the sacred swan, for Brahma; and the eagle Garuda for Vishnu.<br />
<br />
The second square radiates out symmetrically and contains paths
through to the central square, as well as 224 smaller temples of
identical design. These temples are known as <em>perwara</em> temples,
meaning guardian or complementary. Although most of these smaller
temples are currently tumbling ruins, a few have been restored and it is
not difficult to imagine the sheer magnitude of what was once here.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">A
third and final square was also walled at some stage, is not on the
same axis as the central two, and does not contain religious artefacts.
It is thought that this area would have been for those involved in
ceremonies to prepare offerings, and for buildings to house resident
priests and pilgrims. These buildings no longer remain as the materials
used have not survived over time.</span></span><br />

square are dense with carvings, and in particular, the Siva temple is
famous for the 62 relief depictions of the Ramayana Ballet, telling the
story of King Rama and his wife Sita. The Ramanaya Ballet continues to
have strong links with the temple complex, with <a href="http://www.borobudurpark.com/temple/ramayanaPrambanan"> performances held on an open air stage within the temple compounds.</a><br />

the Prambanan's Siva temple is a series of chambers, dedicated to
Ganesha, Bhatare Guru; a bearded priest, Siva himself, and importantly,
Durga, who local folklore claims as the depiction of Loro Djonggrang,
the slender virgin.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">The
folklore of Loro Djonggrang ties this site in with the Ratu Boko Palace
with Ratu Boko being the father of the princess Loro Djonggrang. A
prince named Bandung desperately wanted Loro Djonggang to marry him and
she refused, as she he had killed her father. He insisted, and she
finally agreed on one condition. He must build 1000 temples in one
night. Prince Bandung summoned up spirits to help him, and close to
dawn, much to the dismay of Loro Djonggrang they had completed the 999th
temple. Loro Djonggrang ordered all of the servants to light a large
fire, and begin pounding rice. The roosters were fooled into thinking it
was dawn and began to crow, the spirits fled, and the final temple was
left unbuilt. Prince Bandung was furious and turned Loro Djonggrang into
stone, representing the final temple.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">After
visiting the largest Buddhist monument in the world, it is not hard to
see why this is the most visited tourist site in Indonesia. The list of
the Seven Wonders of the World has changed many times over the years,
and often Borobudur has been included. UNESCO added the monument to its
list of World Heritage Sites in 1991, and has been of great influence in
restoring the monument to its former glory.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">The
temple is a massive step pyramid structure made from giant stone

top of the monument is crowned with a massive bell shaped stupa, close

completely empty, and questions remain as to whether it has always been
empty, or in fact held some form of icon within.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">Interestingly a hidden level of stone reliefs exists at the base of the monument, depicting stories of desire. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">Artistically
Borobudur represents a melding of Indian monuments and the traditional
terraced sanctuaries of Indonesian art. In plan view, the monument
represents a Mandala, which is a schematized representation of the
cosmos, often drawn repeatedly as a meditative mechanism.</span></span><br />

With a view of an expert or a Brahmin Rishi Sista, fit or not fitting of a married couple will be seen clearly.<br /><br />Couples who do not fit (in spirit) is recommended to cancel his marriage plans, because it can definitely be fatal to both families involved. After days of Dharma Sastra, the couple no longer reconcilable by the sage, but by the king or brides parents, by considering the mundane, such as maintaining the dignity of the family, consideration of wealth, beauty, kegantengan and others. When this started declining spiritual values as a basis for consideration.<br /><br />In the modern era and the era of globalization, as now, the role of parents probably have not so dominant in determining mate sons. Young children more now determine their own soul mate. Determination mate by themselves are very tergantuang on their ability levels to marriage. But it seems more determined by worldly considerations, such as physical beauty, the degree of family and social measures rather than the degree of economic and spiritual.<br /><br />Meaning and Symbol<br /><br />Marriage Law No. 1 th 1974, the validity of a marriage is legal according to their respective religions. So, for Hindus, through the process of religious ceremony called "Mekala-kalaan" (natab banten), usually dipuput by a pinandita. The ceremony was held at the home page (middle Natah) because it is the central point of the power of "Kala Bhucari" as ruler of the area housing madyaning theater. Makala-kalaan derived from the word "time" which means energy.

It's one of the place in Bali where monkeys exist, free and peaceful. There are hundred of monkeys in this forest and high up on the big trees many bats area hanging and singing with their loud voices.Located in Sangeh Village, the six-hectare forest is populated with giant nutmeg trees of up to 40m in height. Hordes of Balinese monkeys that inhabit both the trees and the temple, Pura Bukit Sari, located in the heart of the forest, will greet you as you enter the forest, some of them even daring to get close to you. The monkeys have become well acquainted with human company, but beware - sometimes in their attempts to get food, they will snatch some object in order to trade for food. Be aware that the monkeys are easily attracted by shiny objects, such as cameras, jewelry, wristwatches or glasses - best to leave these things behind or keep them hidden.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxtnAIMVQrMlUdwPnjAkHhO2b5ZrQZ6cGa6n8qqMQXmW2BpNRWIq-JSn1kapvsecjKVh0AFKpsuCJiP5l-spn8zPmxBEAc0FOPNxoFfm8FAMGq4wYYCRAwJoh4_d4QjxrxrqfyazwgCw/s1600-h/PIC_0541+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247369935162716786" style="DISPLAY: block;

Celebrated with rituals and festivities, it is the time to rejoice in the trumph of virtue ( Dharma ) over evil ( Adharma ). Galungan Day is celebrated every Budha Kliwon Dungulan. Galungan Day has a meaning "Pawedalan Jagat" or the earth's celebration. On this day the Hindus thank the God for the creation of the earth and its content. On this day the Hindus feel grateful for His blessings.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Penjor</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid21EqOdWLRaFSmY1ToZZprxx4xBEsoxsuRcR0Pt0fQV2t-p-P0aBfBaxEvZKaZO-sXbNOkGG7WqaCqZOKn8MzRQlM6081cUrFgiXX_2XkRlJZRJwTDlDiDTuAW6VZX_jpSSjo5fnbF1E/s1600-h/IMG_1261+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236483153633871618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid21EqOdWLRaFSmY1ToZZprxx4xBEsoxsuRcR0Pt0fQV2t-p-P0aBfBaxEvZKaZO-sXbNOkGG7WqaCqZOKn8MzRQlM6081cUrFgiXX_2XkRlJZRJwTDlDiDTuAW6VZX_jpSSjo5fnbF1E/s320/IMG_1261+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a> Penjor is the symbol of Mount Agung and also the symbol of the presence of the God. It is made from a long bamboo pole with its curved end, and decorated with rice paddies, corn on the cob, coconut, cakes, a piece of white or yellow cloth, etc. This as a sign for reminding the human that everything we enjoy in this world is from the God.<br />Penjor is usually made on Penampahan Galungan (a day before the Galungan Day). It is the symbol of Mount Agung, and also as gratitude for the agricultural produce. Mount Agung is the symbol of holiness as a connection to Mount Semeru, Mount Himalaya, or Mahameru, which is believed as the place where Bhatara Putra Jaya stays.<br />We can be happy and celebrate for everything that we enjoy. But, the celebration must be based on dharma or holy bible. Happiness must always tend to the limits of ethics, such as holding art performance, literature night, or sport activities, etc.<br />We must leave the old ways, which is not based on 'susila' teachings (rules of good conduct). And the realization of those activities must be based on desa (place), 'kala' (time), and 'patra' (situation).<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8pBKrk1ruqSvhnILqHkXcyeLo85aSP7w6iI-77Iia5wa_O7usflFZNlROC0nmQnuBc4Kb4FF5zHLax6ujK-wuM5nI-0pLuQ69dKYq06aEZUU_bdtM3FmSAEVbGcDkZPl5YJuXG114oSc/s1600-h/IMG_1263+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236483156976458882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8pBKrk1ruqSvhnILqHkXcyeLo85aSP7w6iI-77Iia5wa_O7usflFZNlROC0nmQnuBc4Kb4FF5zHLax6ujK-wuM5nI-0pLuQ69dKYq06aEZUU_bdtM3FmSAEVbGcDkZPl5YJuXG114oSc/s320/IMG_1263+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a> Some people prying at the temple on galungan day.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9K4KxYggP0LosN4NEdYw4jRDZSG_BmD7m9f6tvubLwrFbVo6QE_qOTvrV3NvcQ0RYdSRUAQwr5bnEfqys66mM51kNi4qwF2NqEwbXj3-OR8GIowkRdZtaXpBx0rIwlvrXs241TUrxL3I/s1600-h/IMG_1264+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236482885196845698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9K4KxYggP0LosN4NEdYw4jRDZSG_BmD7m9f6tvubLwrFbVo6QE_qOTvrV3NvcQ0RYdSRUAQwr5bnEfqys66mM51kNi4qwF2NqEwbXj3-OR8GIowkRdZtaXpBx0rIwlvrXs241TUrxL3I/s320/IMG_1264+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div></div><br /><!-- AddThis Button for Post BEGIN --><br /><div><a expr:href='"http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?pub=localbaliguide&url=" + data:post.url + "&title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Bookmark and Share'><img src='http://s9.addthis.com/button1-addthis.gif' width='125' height='16' style='border: 0px; padding: 0px' alt='Bookmark and Share' /></a></div><br /><!-- AddThis Button for Post END -->localbaliguidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12024110311386984223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092387003646111208.post-81805600678639817022008-08-08T02:50:00.000-07:002008-08-27T21:59:07.287-07:00CULTURE<div style="text-align: center;">Photograpy by nick-localbaliguide<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrK-Sacbnvw7RA6LIUkbkAvp_D7Eaw_3mGN9kZEFfZl694w-J8Zb1Z7o1c4lI-m2j_5zgqPTN4A3XzimQnVZEQ8i84XmGgSUDbP782E5Pw8yiPC8TumUhDq_YdaBkZGy2_WTbv5WYeoEQ/s1600-h/KIF_0127+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrK-Sacbnvw7RA6LIUkbkAvp_D7Eaw_3mGN9kZEFfZl694w-J8Zb1Z7o1c4lI-m2j_5zgqPTN4A3XzimQnVZEQ8i84XmGgSUDbP782E5Pw8yiPC8TumUhDq_YdaBkZGy2_WTbv5WYeoEQ/s320/KIF_0127+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234594668076469618" border="0" /></a>Bali is an Indonesian island that is rich in indigenous culture. A lot pf people say that Bali culture is unique and that the people of Bali have always been contented with the “now.” If you ask a Balinese person what heaven is like, the probable answer will be “just like Bali”. This only goes to show that most Balinese people are happy to be where they are and never worry.<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibXeLZPoK2Sfg8Cw2lvqOq-IFZe6q67q64g1Nd2kRZ1wAB_oNee7qhhFHZsGWMhLf38_LprpxQLduXdfkce8PsoUClHxub4hIzeKtc8m81BTDxG4-G2EMZwSH1oaM2SlqpA4GIesH6woM/s1600-h/KIF_0129+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232087907294173362" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; cursor: pointer; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibXeLZPoK2Sfg8Cw2lvqOq-IFZe6q67q64g1Nd2kRZ1wAB_oNee7qhhFHZsGWMhLf38_LprpxQLduXdfkce8PsoUClHxub4hIzeKtc8m81BTDxG4-G2EMZwSH1oaM2SlqpA4GIesH6woM/s320/KIF_0129+copy.jpg" border="0" /> </a><p align="center"> One factor that contributes to this laidback lifestyle is the culture of close family ties in Bali.

The Bali culture is based on a form of this religion, which is called “Hindu Darma”. This religion reached the island during the eleventh century. Most of the family customs and traditions as well as community lifestyles of the Balinese people are influenced by this. The religious influence even expands widely into the arts, which makes Bali distinct from the rest of Indonesia.<br /></p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibXeLZPoK2Sfg8Cw2lvqOq-IFZe6q67q64g1Nd2kRZ1wAB_oNee7qhhFHZsGWMhLf38_LprpxQLduXdfkce8PsoUClHxub4hIzeKtc8m81BTDxG4-G2EMZwSH1oaM2SlqpA4GIesH6woM/s1600-h/KIF_0129+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232087907294173362" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; cursor: pointer; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibXeLZPoK2Sfg8Cw2lvqOq-IFZe6q67q64g1Nd2kRZ1wAB_oNee7qhhFHZsGWMhLf38_LprpxQLduXdfkce8PsoUClHxub4hIzeKtc8m81BTDxG4-G2EMZwSH1oaM2SlqpA4GIesH6woM/s320/KIF_0129+copy.jpg" border="0" /> </a><p align="center"> In spite of the influx of tourists to the island, Balinese people have managed to preserve their culture. Almost every native of Bali is an artist in some form or another.
