Bali Vocation Location
















Each village has at least three temples: the pura puseh (temple of origin), the pura desa (village temple) at the centre for everyday community activities and the pura dalem (temple of the dead) and each family compound has its own temple. The tiered, black thatched roofs of the temples are made from a palm fibre and this material is not permitted to be used for any roof other than those on temples. The elegant pagoda-like tiered structure itself is called a meru (named after sacred Mount Meru (Mahameru), the home of the gods) and the most dramatic of them can consist of as many as 11 tiers. Balinese dance and music are also justly famous and a major attraction for visitors to the island. Throughout the day, the island is enveloped in the melodious tunes of the Balinese gamelan orchestra, a gong-chime musical ensemble consisting of bronze gongs, metallophones, cymbals, and a time-beater, add to the island's enchantment. The wayang or shadow puppet is the most prominent theatrical expression in Bali. In a wayang kulit performance, flat cut-out figures are silhouetted against a translucent, white screen, with a coconut-husk lamp as its source of light. The shows are mostly enactments of religious mythology.
