A Fight Of Harmony
Religious beliefs, rites and festivals guide a balinese from
birth to death and into the world thereafter.
They provide a cohesive force within the family and for tke basis
for village social interaction and cooperation. Religious custom
defines the plan of town, the design of temple, the structure of a
home and the distribution of responsibilities within the community
Holidays, entertainments and social gathering are all
determined by religious calender and occure within the
context of ritual observances. Some might find such
situation confining, but for the balinese these observances
are a rich source of inspiration, providing a life of
unending pageantry and an outlet for their considerable
artistic talent.
