Indonesia is a living mosaic of people, traditions and stories.
Indonesia is the world’s largest Muslim country, and many associate it with a conservative image. Yet the reality is quite the opposite: despite the Muslim majority, each island and every village follows its own traditions, many of which have evolved over centuries. The result is an impressive diversity of cultural practices and beliefs that coexist peacefully.
Living Traditions & Heritage
Indonesia’s traditional craftsmanship is the result of generations of experience and remarkable skill. In Yogyakarta and other regions of Central Java, local batik artisans create true works of art using the ancient wax-resist technique — each piece deeply rooted in the culture and symbolism of the region.
Music, dance and theater are much more than entertainment in Indonesia.
Traditional music and dance are a big part of daily life and spiritual identity in Indonesia. From the rhythmic sounds of Gamelan and the mesmerizing Wayang Kulit shadow plays to the powerful Kecak dances — each performance tells stories of gods, heroes, and everyday life. Every island has its own unique spirit, from Bali’s sacred Hindu dances to the drum rituals of indigenous tribes and the dramatic war dances of the Moluccas.
A country where spirituality is lived in many different ways.
In Bali, Hinduism is celebrated with colorful ceremonies; in Papua, ancient animist traditions are still alive; and in Sulawesi, Christian communities follow their own customs. In Central Java, the famous Borobudur temple stands as a reminder of Indonesia’s deep spiritual history.
The Indonesian people place great importance on their spiritual rituals, which are deeply woven into daily life and often expressed through ceremonies, festivals, and pilgrimages. This rich religious diversity shapes community life and harmony across the country.
