Jimbaran lies on the ‘neck’ of the southern peninsula in Bali and
is widely known for the fresh seafood kiosks that are scattered along
the beach. Diners select the live seafood that they wish to eat,
and it is immediately prepared, generally grilled over a fire
of coconut husks rather than charcoal. More recently,
Jimbaran has become a popular location for foreigners to build villas.

Bali culture is totally unique and permeates through every aspect of life. The influence of Hinduism the main religion is evident in the music, drama, art, costumes and festivals which take place daily.

You’ll encounter a festival almost every day, celebrating the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Anthropologists believe that the Balinese are descended from the ancient Chinese, the Indians and Arabs from the west, and others who came to the island directly or via Java.

The word toraja comes from the Bugis language’s to riaja,
meaning “people of the uplands”.
The Dutch colonial government named the people Toraja in 1909.
[3] Torajans are renowned for their elaborate funeral rites,
burial sites carved into rocky cliffs, massive peaked-roof
traditional houses known as tongkonan, and colorful wood carvings.
Toraja funeral rites are important social events, usually attended by hundreds
of people and lasting for several days.

Before the 20th century, Torajans lived in autonomous villages,
where they practised animism and were relatively untouched by the outside world.
In the early 1900s, Dutch missionaries first worked to convert Torajan highlanders
to Christianity. When the Tana Toraja regency was further opened to the outside world
in the 1970s, it became an icon of tourism in Indonesia: it was exploited by tourism
developers and studied by anthropologists.[4] By the 1990s, when tourism peaked,
Toraja society had changed significantly, from an agrarian model — in which social
life and customs were outgrowths of the Aluk To Dolo—to a largely Christian society.

The main ethnic groups of Dayaks are the Bakumpai and Dayak Bukit of South Kalimantan, The Ngajus, Baritos, Benuaqs of East Kalimantan, the Kayan and Kenyah groups and their subtribes in Central Borneo and the Ibans, Embaloh (Maloh), Kayan, Kenyah, Penan, Kelabit, Lun Bawang and Taman populations in the Kapuas and Sarawak regions. Other populations include the Ahe, Jagoi, Selakau, Bidayuh, and Kutais.

The Dayak people of Borneo possess an indigenous account of their history, partly in writing and partly in common cultural customary practices. In addition, colonial accounts and reports of Dayak activity in Borneo detail carefully cultivated economic and political relationships with other communities as well as an ample body of research and study considering historical Dayak migrations. In particular, the Iban or the Sea Dayak exploits in the South China Seas are documented, owing to their ferocity and aggressive culture of war against sea dwelling groups and emerging Western trade interests in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Coastal populations in Borneo are largely Muslim in belief, however these groups (Ilanun, Melanau, Kadayan, Bakumpai, Bisayah) are generally considered to be Islamized Dayaks, native to Borneo, and governed by the relatively high cultural influences of the Javanese Majapahit Kingdoms and Islamic Malay Sultanates, periodically covering South East Asian history

Borobudur is a ninth-century Mahayana Buddhist monument in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia.
The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.
[1] A main dome is located at the center of the top platform, and is surrounded by seventy-two Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa.

The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument
and follows a path circumambulating the monument while ascending to the top through
the three levels of Buddhist cosmology, namely, Kamadhatu (the world of desire);
Rupadhatu (the world of forms); and Arupadhatu (the world of formless).
During the journey, the monument guides the pilgrims through a system of stairways
and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the wall and the balustrades.

Evidence suggests Borobudur was abandoned following the fourteenth
century decline of Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms in Java, and the Javanese
conversion to Islam.

[2] It was rediscovered in 1814 by Sir Thomas Raffles, the British ruler of Java.
Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations.
The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO,
following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

[3] Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage, where once a year Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Vesak
at the monument, and Borobudur is Indonesia’s single most visited tourist attraction

Examples of cultural fusion include the fusion of Islam with Hindu in Javanese Abangan
belief, the fusion of Hinduism, Buddhism and animism in Bodha, and the fusion of
Hinduism and animism in Kaharingan; others could be cited.

Indonesian art-forms express this cultural mix. Wayang,
traditional theater-performed puppet shows,
were a medium in the spread of Hinduism and Islam amongst Javan villagers.
Both Javanese and Balinese dances have stories about ancient Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms,
while Islamic art forms and architecture are present in Sumatra,
especially in the Minangkabau and Aceh regions.
Traditional art, music and sport are combined in a martial art form called Pencak Silat.

Western culture has influenced Indonesia most in modern entertainment such as television shows, movies and songs
.India has notably influenced Indonesian songs and movies.
A popular type of song is the Indian-rhythmical dangdut, which is often mixed with Arab and Malay folk music.

Despite the influences of foreign culture, some remote Indonesian regions still preserve uniquely indigenous culture.
Indigenous ethnic groups of Mentawai, Asmat, Dani, Dayak, Toraja and many others are still practising their ethnic rituals,
customs and wearing traditional clothes.

Indonesia is not generally known for paintings, aside from the intricate and expressive Balinese paintings, which often express natural scenes and themes from the traditional dances.

Other exceptions include indigenous Kenyah paint designs based on, as commonly found among Austronesian cultures, endemic natural motifs such as ferns, trees, dogs, hornbills and human figures. These are still to be found decorating the walls of Kenyah Dayak longhouses in East Kalimantan’s Apo Kayan region.

Calligraphy, mostly based on the Qur’an, is often used as decoration as Islam forbids naturalistic depictions. Some foreign painters have also settled in Indonesia. Modern Indonesian painters use a wide variety of styles and themes.
