Bali | The Legendary Kecak Dance of Folk Culture

Location 📍 Uluwatu Temple, the cliffside temple. The Fire Dance, also known as the 'Monkey Fire Dance,' is named for its rhythmic 'cak-cak-cak' sounds, hence the name 'Kecak' dance. It originated from local sacrificial rituals and was first created by the villager Bededulu. Since the 1920s, it has become widely popular on the Hindu island of Bali. The story of the Fire Dance is derived from the Hindu epic 'Ramayana,' retelling the tale of King Ravana of Lanka kidnapping Sita, Hanuman searching for Sita, and the battle between Rama and Ravana. It's a must-see performance for history enthusiasts. #Indonesia #ClassicalDance #Temple #Dance #Bali #FolkCulture #HinduTemple #BaliHinduism #Uluwatu #Show #Monkey #Sunset #SeasidePhotography #SeasideSunset #UluwatuTemple #BaliUluwatu
