Even being a famous tourist destination, Balinese are still keeping their way of life, have really beautiful rice terraces.
Bali has its own kind of Hindu pagodas.
We were lucky to join one Balinese ceremony. People brought offerings to the temple. That was the first time we saw famous Balinese baked baby pig.
Around noon, there were small dancing for the ceremony.
At night it had more organized little girls' dancing.
All those performance had gamelan and other Indonesia instruments accompanying them.
We had to ware sarong to go in the temple.
The mythical lion, symbol of good.
Lovely pictures-is it really humid?
ReplyDeleteBe sure to check out Tirta Empul and Pura Besakih. Just beware that at Pura Besakih they will most likely try to trick you into paying for a guide which you don't need unless you want to get into some of the areas closed to visitors without guides. It is magnificent to see all the temples spires, wind flags and chimes swaying in the Bali wind. Ceremonies are a daily occurrence as you are discovering. Travel safe.
