Indonesian traditional arts have been an integral part of its culture for centuries. Wayang kulit (shadow puppetry) and wayang orang (traditional theater) are two of the most popular traditional art forms, originating from Java and Bali. These art forms tell stories from Hindu-Buddhist epics, such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata, and are still performed today. Traditional music and dance, like gamelan and tarian, are also essential components of Indonesian cultural heritage.
