From the culture side, Bali is famous for many forms of art, including painting, sculpture, woodcarving, handicrafts, and performing arts. Balinese Gamelan Music is highly beloved and varied. The dances portray stories from Hindu epics such as the Ramayana. Famous Balinese dances include Pendet, Legong, Baris, Topeng, Barong, and Kecak (the monkey dance)
National education programs, mass media and tourism continue to change Balinese culture. Immigration for other parts of Indonesia, especially Java, is changing the ethnic composition of Bali’s population.
