History of bali

History

Sunset at Tanah Lot Temple which dates from the 15th century.

The first Hindus arrived in Bali as early as 100 BC, but the unique culture which is so apparent to any current day visitor to Bali hails largely from neighbouring Java, with some influence from Bali's distant animist past. The Javanese Majapahit Empire's rule over Bali became complete in the 14th century when Gajah Mada, Prime Minister of the Javanese king, defeated the Balinese king at Bedulu.

The rule of the Majapahit Empire resulted in the initial influx of Javanese culture, most of all in architecture, dance, painting, sculpture and the wayang puppet theatre. All of this is still very apparent today. The very few Balinese who did not adopt this Javanese Hindu culture are known today as the Bali Aga ("original Balinese") and still live in the isolated villages of Tenganan near Candidasa and Trunyan on the remote eastern shore of Lake Batur at Kintamani.

With the rise of Islam in the Indonesian archipelago, the Majapahit Empire in Java fell and Bali became independent near the turn of the 16th century. The Javanese aristocracy found refuge in Bali, bringing an even stronger influx of Hindu arts, literature and religion.

Bali and Lombok Travel Guide

Bali, known as the Island of Gods had been the most popular tourist destination in Indonesia. Bali isrich in culture and history that is still very prominent now with old temples that are still in used, festivals and practices. It is also full of natural wonders too like the white sandy beaches, surfers waves, divers paradise spots, mountains to hike and rolling fields of rice paddies and rice terraces. Bali lies to the east of Java and just slightly below the equator line. It has a population of 4.2 million people and unlike the rest of Indonesia which is predominantly Muslim, it is home to most of the Hindu minority. The major religion here is Balinese Hinduism. Largest city here is Denpasar with its own airport and the cultural center is Ubud.

Lying to the east of Bali is Lombok, the emerging next top destination of Indonesia. It also boasts pristine beaches, crystal clear blue seas, diving spots and surfers nooks, but without all the tourist crowd of Bali. Visit Lombok for is powdery white sand beach, dive into deep sea that is filled with corals and marine life, and hike up Mount Rinjani that stood majestically over Lombok’s villages rich with culture, history and people.

Just off the coasts from east Lombok is Gili Islands which is not too far west from Bali. Smack right in between this powerhouses, Gili Islands is the last remote islands you can get around here. There are no motorized vehicles allowed on these islands that are made up of three islands – Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. It goes without saying you can find nature’s best here, untouched and unspoilt, therefore explore away on land and dive deep into the uncharted seas.
