Bali Culture And Customs

The Bali culture is something which is closely related to Bali. It becomes a magnet for tourist to come to Bali. To most people, it will be hard to differentiate culture with religion. As a matter of a fact, they are integrated into a harmony. Somehow, Hindu Religion is likely to be the most development stream of culture and art in Bali.

The wave of foreign culture is sunk by the current of local Bali culture. If it exists to be a new Bali culture, it will be born as a new concept of culture that is more delightful. Let us see, Patra of Egypt (Egyptian Pattern), Patra of China (Chinese Pattern) or barong ket, barong landung or young artists in Ubud.

When this transformation of value entered into (bertiwikrama) the system of Balinese culture, and it became a topic of conversation, it is very difficult to differ whether their conversation involves religious, cultural or art issues, Balinese never care about them. Most of Balinese surrender their understanding on conducts and duties to Hyang Widhi. They call it doing yadnya

Balinese society lives under a system of value which is generated from the Balinese culture. This system covers the water division, pattern of cultivation, the system of sub village, yield division, place of shrines, the clothes’ color, and etc. The culture survives, grows, and bears along with the Balinese society’s dynamic life. The three most important elements of Balinese culture are signaled by behavior, idea and physic.
