It has several unique aspects related to its religions traditions.

Balinese culture is a mix of Hindu/Buddhist religion and Balinese custom.

The Balinese people celebrate every aspect of life with ritual and festivity.

Bali's performing arts are an integral part of balinese culture.

Traditional dances are performed in rituals and religious ceremonies like a dance called "Barong",  which names a lion like character from the Balinese mythology. He is the king of spirits, leader of the hosts of the good, an enemy of Rangda, the demon queen and mother of all spirits of the evil. The battle between Barong and Rangda represents an eternal battle between good an evil. In that way is a neverending battle as everyday one must choose good over evil.
