    Photo Tour: Bali's breath-taking Hindu temples

    The Indonesian island state of Bali is home to the majority of the country’s Hindus. Balinese Hinduism is characterized by the worship of the supreme god Acintya, along with the trinity in Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The art and ritual of the Balinese Hindus trace back to influences from the 4th century when Hinduism reached the island’s shores. Balinese temples are ornate, beautiful and situated in visually stunning locales. LAKSHMI SHARATH traipses through Bali and returns with these breathtaking picture postcards.

    LAKSHMI SHARATH is a media professional, traveler, travel-writer, photographer and blogger. Read her story, Gods and goblins in Bali on Yahoo! India Travel.

    1. Puppets in Bali, Indonesia

      The sounds of performances fill the air as you walk into any of these temples. Wayang or shadow puppetry, the Kecak or fire-dance, and various other local dances like Barong, Legong and Pendet are some of the art forms to experience while you visit these shrines.
