The Gods of Bali: A travel guide into the Balinese Hinduism - 1948

In Bali, sun, beach, sea and rich vegetation await you. Especially in the rainy season, it blossoms and flourishes and the whole island shines in a lush green. A paradise on earth. But there is more. Something that makes Bali very special, the people and their religion. Balinese Hinduism influences the entire social life and is deeply rooted in the identity of the islanders. When tourists leave the island, however, many questions usually remain unanswered: What is the meaning of all these offerings? How many different gods are there in this religion? What happens at a ceremony? This book is a travel guide to Balinese Hinduism. Besides the basics of the religion, the most important holidays and the history of Bali, many other interesting details for tourists are discussed, such as How do I behave in a temple? Is it safe to drink holy water? What happens if I accidentally step on an offering? We also take a look at the various Balinese dances, the gamelan orchestra and learn about some very special rituals, e.g. the tooth filing and the fire dance.
