As the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation, Islam deeply influences daily life, yet Indonesia embraces diversity. Bali, known as the "Island of the Gods," practices Hinduism, marked by colorful temple ceremonies and daily offerings. Buddhist Borobudur and Hindu Prambanan temples in Java stand as testaments to ancient spiritual legacies.
Festivals and Cuisine
Festivals like Eid al-Fitr and Balinese Nyepi (Day of Silence) highlight communal values. Indonesian cuisine mirrors its cultural fusion. Staples like nasi goreng (fried rice), sate (skewered meats), and rendang (spicy beef stew) burst with flavors influenced by Indian, Chinese, and Arabic traders.
