Balinese culture is perhaps most known for its dance, drama and sculpture. The culture is noted for its use of the
gamelan in music. The island is also known for its form of
Wayang kulit or
Shadow play/Shadow
Puppet theatre. It also has several unique aspects related to their
religions traditions. Balinese culture is a mix of Balinese
Hindu/Buddhist religion and Balinese custom.
Traditionally, a display of female breasts is not regarded as
immodest. Balinese women can often be seen with their bare chest;
however, a display of the thigh is considered immodest. In modern Bali
these customs are normally not strictly observed, but visitors visiting
Balinese temples are advised to cover their legs.
In the Balinese
naming system, a person's rank of birth or caste is reflected in the name.
