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.
