Guidelines for the Culturally Sensitive Guest
The Balinese people are very open to
sharing their unique cultural heritage and the spiritual wisdom
they have nurtured over centuries. Visitors to Bali will be warmly
welcomed to most temples and ceremonies. There are, however, certain
codes of conduct that Westerners should follow to offer respect
for the Balinese and their culture.
- When attending a temple ceremony,
remember that it is not a party but a celebration to welcome the
gods down to earth. Balinese always, no matter how many hardships
they may face in their material life, put on their finest traditional
clothing or pakaian adat as a gesture of respect to both
the worldly hosts of the event and the divine guests. Women wear
a kamben, a long length of cloth wrapped from waist to
ankles, a lacy blouse called a kebaya, and a sash tied
around the waist. They will often tie up their hair in elaborate
styles, and decorate it with fresh tropical flowers.
If they own
a piece of precious gold jewelry, they will wear it, and they
will paint their faces with makeup and lipstick, for the Balinese
gods delight in beauty. Men as well will be sure to dress respectfully,
in a sarong, nice shirt or ceremonial jacket, a sash around the
waist and an elaborately folded udeng headdress. The Balinese
are thrilled to see Westerners wearing this ceremonial dress,
and highly appreciative of the respect it shows. They understand,
of course, that Western customs differ, so if you dont want
to go all out, dont worry. But if you do want to share the
experience, ask a Balinese friend or someone in your hotel to
help you find the clothing and show you how to wear it.
- At minimum, wear a sarong and a
sash to attend a ceremony or enter a temple. At most temples,
they can be rented for a small donation. You can even wrap the
sarong over your shorts or dress, if you must.
- Never position yourself higher than
the offerings or the priest, or climb temple walls or statues
to get a better photo angle. Strange things sometimes happen to
people who offend the gods and the demons who linger around Balis
shrines, so its better to be safe than sorry.
- Do not walk in front of people praying.
- Be sensitive with your camera and
flash, and respect the religious nature of the occasion.
- Women who are menstruating are not
allowed to enter temples. This is not necessarily a sign of gender
discrimination, but a general prohibition against blood on holy
ground.
- If you are invited to a ceremony
in someones home, such as a wedding or baby ceremony, it
is appropriate to bring a small, wrapped gift. A card is not necessary.
- Like in many other parts of the
world, the left hand is considered unclean, and to eat with it,
point with it, shake hands with it or offer or receive something
with it is perceived as extremely rude.
- Shorts and sleeveless tops are fine
for the beach, but when visiting cultural sights or small villages
they may be seen as offensive.
- Feet are considered impure and the
head is considered to be the most sacred part of the body. Dont
point with your feet or prop them up on tables, and dont
pat people, even small children, on the head.
- Ask questions, share experiences
and opinions, and you will be sure to learn and enjoy!
