Accommodations in Bali, like The Royal Pita Maha, enjoy one of the most strategic and sought-after locations in the world of travel. This is because Bali does not only offer magnificent beaches and verdant surroundings ideal for leisure but also a captivating culture. During your visit, you are sure to be immersed in a pool of exciting and interesting traditions, which will stick with you for a long time. But you don't have to wait for the time to get off the plane before learning about them. With this article, we're giving you a quick rundown of the things you can expect once you arrive.
On religion
The connection between India and Bali does not end at the similarities in their mythologies and art. It also involves religion. Balinese Hinduism is the predominant faith in the province, observed by over 90% of the population. And during your holiday in this part of Indonesia, you will witness dramatic song and dance numbers depicting stories relating to Bali's version of the religion.
Bali's inclination to Hinduism is also the very reason for the numerous temples you here. Among the places of worship that you may visit are the temples of Besakih, Luhur, Tirta Empul, Ulun Danu, Taman Ayun, Goa Lawah, and Tanah Lot. Although these landmarks cater mainly to tourism — being surrounded with small and medium businesses — you can still savor tranquility away from your cozy resort in Bali. This is because the locals see to it that they do not compromise religion for profit.
Life in Bali
Experts say that the people of Bali have Chinese, Indian, and Arab roots. Because of this multicultural background, they are gifted with long and shiny hair, bronze skin, and mystical charm.
If you're planning on staying outside of your accommodation in Bali even just for a night to visit local villages, you can anticipate being welcomed with very close family ties. A good example for this is how an entire clan lives in a single complex. And because religion plays a great role the lives of locals, every home also has a small family temple for worshiping gods.
Art in general
You will notice that almost everything that this celebrated destination holds, including art, goes back to Hinduism. Residents, in general, are known as a very creative group of people. And one nice thing about art centers here is, each village has a specialization, so you will easily find what you are looking for when shopping.
The villages of Ubud, Keliki, Kamasan, and Batuan are famous for painting. For stone and wood carvings, visit Batubulan and Mas, respectively. Are you searching for fine jewelry? If you are lodging at an Ubud hotel, like The Royal Pita Maha, you have to travel for almost half an hour to Celuk, a village of gold- and silversmiths.
