Bali island For The Indians


Bali tourist province of Indonesia that is also commonly referred to as “The Island of Gods”, “Bali Dwipa” or “The Island of Thousand Temples.” With it being a world tourism destination because of its major attractions and culture, we can see lots of different people from all over the world coming here for a vacation, mostly Indians in the Ubud area of Jimbaran. Bali Island is, without a doubt, the best place to have a memorable vacation with world-class accommodation. Let’s find out why we can mostly find Indians in Bali islands and what makes it attractive for them.




We can already see from the official board of tourism most of the Indians traveling in Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia and with Indonesia being within the region we can say that India is the next major country that we will see visiting Indonesia on a large scale. Annually, 250,000 Indians travel to Indonesia and mainly Bali Island but there is a great potential for the increase in this number.



With the increase in monotony and stress in Indian metropolis daily lives, we find ways to get out of it. This is why the trend of going for a wellness holiday trip is currently becoming more popular. The main reason for such type of vacations being popular is because travelers see it as an investment that will help in getting in touch with their inner self and feeling good about themselves when they go back to their routines. Bali is among those destinations where several Spas and Ayurveda resorts and centers have opened up that are mostly attracted by the Indians also because the budget carrier from India has now very competitive tickets price.

The Hindu religion is another reason that attracts many Indians to travel on this island. Bali has a historical connection with India and their religion that is another thing that puts Bali for the Indians on the map. The historical clues, statues, cut caves, and bronze figures are something that tells the economic and cultural interaction with India that Indians come to discover here.


Terrazza Plenilunio



Some of the highlights for Indians in this Indonesia island that come from the Hindu culture are the Balinese Agama Hindu culture that incorporates the trinity of Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva. The Balinese ceremonies are also rich with color, offerings, and music that Indians will get attracted to due to the somewhat similarity with them. They can also go to the Uluwatu venue to get to see the Balinese temple dance and major temple in Bali.

Romantic Valentine's Day Ideas - Top Ideas For Him and Her

Are you at a loss at what to do for valentine's day? Now you do not have to worry anymore! You are lucky to have found this article! As your reward, I shall provide with you some creative and innovative ideas to make this special day a wonderful and memorable one. I have personally tried some of these ideas I have written and it works all well and great!

Idea # 1 Sunset Picnic
Have a nice afternoon picnic at any of your favorite parks. Basically, anywhere green, clean, nice and peaceful will do. If it is by the beach it would be even better. Prepare some light snacks such as sandwiches, wine, biscuits, cheese and chips! Do bring along things such as sunglasses, cushions and mats to make your stay a really comfortable one. To enhance the ambiance, you could bring along a radio or your iPod to enjoy some music along with the food. If possible, do stay until sunset where the two of you can enjoy the sunset together before packing things up and heading for a nice dinner!\
A perfect beach hotel in Kuta is the Kuta Playa Hotel for an amazing sunset spot.

Idea # 2 Homemade Dinner
Why waste the money and crowd around with all the other people on this special day when it should be just you and her or you and him. Head down to the grocery market and buy what you two want to cook for dinner. Cook a nice romantic dinner with each other and when all the food is ready, light up the candles and turn off the lights! You just got yourself a priceless romantic dinner! In Jimbaran The Puri Ratu Villas offer a large kitchen or a private chef cooking for you i a great choice for a large family villas in Jimbaran, bali.

Idea # 3 Short Escape Trip
If the two of you are working, I believe both of you will have little time or it has been a long time since the last time the two of you head out on a trip. Take a short escape trip this special day, maybe to some quiet islands like Bali or Bintan if you are staying in Asia. Have a nice quiet trip perhaps a spa treat or something for both of you to unwind and enjoy the lush greenery and waters of the ocean and beaches.

Idea # 4 Weekend Long Celebration
Who says valentine's day is only for one day? Do sweet little things for your other loved one all through the week till weekend. Do something special each day for the whole week!

Idea # 5 Stars Gazing
After your romantic dinner, take a stroll and come to an open grass patch or open ground and slowly lie down and gaze the star studded night skies. Have a nice heart to heart talk as you indulge in the beauty of the twinkling stars.

Honeymoon and Luxury Accommodation in Ubud




Ubud offers honeymoon vacation makers and those lucky enough to live there a unique honeymoon experience. Ubud has strong traditions, artistic painting, history and stylised comfort all rolled into one tropical honeymoon island package.

There are so many things to do in Ubud and the surrounding areas. You can take in the wonderful view of the stepped rice fields, you can visit the numerous temples to get a taste of Balinese traditions and history. If shopping is your preference then it has a huge market you can get lost in. There are a Monkey Forest and adventure activities for the kids. If living in immense comfort is your cup of tea then you can stay in your Ubud private luxury villas style, if cheap easy accommodation is your thing then you can stay in a local home-stay or find a good price a typical Ubud villa for rent.

Ubud is most famous for its art tourism, the streets are lined with art shops selling colorful, vivid, child-like paintings. I was inspired by this array of fantastic art to writing this article focusing on the history of Bali Painting, from my Ubud small boutique resort I was able to explore this enchanting town and put together this piece of art history.

The very roots of Balinese art come from the Hindu-Javanese Majapahit Kingdom which expanded into Bali in the 13th Century.

Before the 1920s and 1930’s the Balinese painted exclusively for religious reasons named the traditional Kamasan style, this includes calendars and Wayang Kulit (shadow puppets made from leather). Often the paintings depicted serialized stories taken from classical Hindu-Animist scriptures. The art was used to decorate temples and supply the local ruler’s art collections. The stories depicted on the paintings were taken from such books as Ramayana and Mahabharata, these stories from start to finish are packed onto one single canvas giving the painting a crowded feeling.

The Kamasan Style takes its name from the village in which it was created. The local painters at that time used materials derived from mineral and vegetable sources. For whites, they used ground animal bone, for grey they used soot from kitchen fires, and for the colors they used clay and ground colored stone. The paint-brushes were made from bamboo the most flexible of natural local materials; tree bark, handcrafted cloth or wood were their canvases.

Bali has an eco-warrior hew about it, with many of the children wearing ‘Go Green’ t-shirts. There are many recycling schemes and some of the small boutique resorts and private and luxury villas have great green credentials. These traditional methods of paintings are great examples of eco-friendly art - no poisons are used in the creating of paper or paints.

The Majapahit Kingdom had fantastically styled palaces and temples a tradition of which can be seen everywhere you go in Bali. The Bali private luxury villa development over the years has a strong influence from the Majapahit Kingdom. Bali Luxury accommodation and modernized comfort have been seamlessly integrated into the ultra-traditional. I for one would love to travel back in time and see how the Kings and Queens of this empire lived.

The Kamasan Style is the backbone of Balinese painting but the Ubud Style is what launched it onto the International arena. Before the 1920’s Bali painting relied on commissions for temples and religious ceremonies, and the market for new commissions had seriously waned.

If it wasn’t for the arrival of Western artists Walter Spies and Walter Bonnet the Ubud Style would have never been born. This is the most important revolution that took place for Balinese painting. The two western artists were encouraged by the King of Ubud to settle in his town and strike up a symbiotic relationship of learning with the local artists. Spies and Bonnet brought their classical European painting techniques and inspired by the natural beauty of Ubud simply painted what they saw. This was a deviation from the painting of religious scenes, Spies and Bonnet inspired the local artisans to paint scenes of village life such as farming, bathing, and shopping in the market.

Together with Cokorda Gede Agung, the local art patron, Spies and Bonnet set up the Pita Maha organization. Pita Maha means ‘Great Vitality’ and had the functions of providing guidance, developing skills and opening up new markets all for the local artists. The organization had grown to nearly 100 members by the end of the ’30s and was seeing some considerable success.

The Ubud Style not only is a change in subject matter but also in painting techniques. There was a move away from earth tones and the introduction of color. This meant artists added perspective, color, depth and shading in human forms. Tempera and watercolors were also introduced at this time and again absorbed by the local artists. Bonnet had a drawing style that brought careful attention to depicting the human form and subjective lighting of figures. The style of Spies was much more mystical, inspiring the locals to interpret what they saw in the surrounding land and people.

The Pita Maha was successful in its mission of opening up new markets, Spies and Bonnet staged huge exhibitions for the world to see and were able to generate substantial incomes for the local artists. This is so important for the art scene because artists could now paint for the sake of art and not just for the sake of religion.

The story of Walter Spies and Walter Bonnet ends in tragedy, during World War II the Japanese invaded Bali and put an end to the art energy and momentum in Ubud. Spies was captured by the Japanese and died when a bomb hit his prisoner boat. Bonnet was held in Sulawesi but was able to return to Bali in the ’50s and helped found the Ubud Puri Lukisan Museum. The legacy of the 1930’s Ubud Style will go on for many years to come and if you visit Ubud and stay in one of its many small boutique resorts or luxury private villa you can see just how influential this period in history is.

There are two more important developments in the Balinese painting. Arie Smit worked for the Dutch army during the 1950s and had become interested in Balinese art. Smit, originally stationed in Bandung relocated his UNESCO Children’s Art program to Ubud in 1956. This is when we can see the birth of the naïve style which uses bright colors and strong graphic style. There is also now a strong culture of academic artists across the world that use Balinese culture or nature as their muse. This is proof that Balinese Painting has installed itself as a unique style that is truly international.

Since the 1960s tourism in Bali has been growing and growing. Kuta is the center for the younger generations to surf and go nightclubbing with narrow streets lined with shops selling Bintang singlets, and cheap accommodation. Seminyak is a more high-brow version of this with shopping arcades filled with designer gear and more expensive luxury accommodation. Then you have Sanur which is really for the older generations, the private luxury villas have jaw-dropping style and comfort. Finally, you have Ubud this is definitely the romantic heart of Bali and has many traditional shops, Ubud villa, and small boutique resorts.
