Culture
The following are some notes that we prepared on Balinese Culture for guests staying at Murni’s Villas about ten years ago, since when we researched the topics further, updated and corrected them as new findings came out and expanded them considerably. The results of all that were published in our book Secrets of Bali, Fresh Light on the Morning of the World (also an ebook available from this web site).
We are leaving the original (uncorrected) notes here on the web site as they have been referred to in a number of books and publications and we don’t want to break the links, but we would recommend getting the later published book or ebook.
