Bali is small island in indonesia, its has colourful culture and fabulous tropical environment. What make this island paradise particularly fascinating, however, is the enduring quality of the culture, and the way it expresses a harmony with nature. All around teh world, Bali is unique as having the last dominant and still intact spiritual culture. Many of the traditional rituals and practices are just as alive today as they ever were, and the incredible strength and resilience of the balinese people and their culture is a testimony to the richness of their faith. It is a fascinating excercise to delve into past and discover some of the ancient origins of today's practices, to discover how bali has become what it is today.
At some stage in the past, however, an indigenous people populated the island. The descendants of these people, who now identify themselves as the Bali Aga, practised animism. Even today the Aga people continue to worship the spirits of nature unaffected by the predominant Hindu religion, and the former now live only in the villages of Tengenan and Trunyan
