The top view of how a Wayang Kulit performance is like.
Why it exist?
Hinduism arrived from India even before the Christian era
- Adopted as the local belief system.
- Sanskrit became the literary and court language of Java and later of Bali.
The Hindus changed the Wayang to spread their religion
- mostly through stories from the Mahabharata or the Ramayana.
This mixture was later praised as harmony between Hinduism and traditional Indonesian culture.
