About Bali
Bali is an area of Indonesia called the Province of Bali. For history, ancient Bali was occupied by the Austronesian people near 2000 BC. Who migrated and came from Taiwan via Maritime Southeast Asia. The culture and language of the Balinese are closely related to those of the Indonesian archipelago, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Oceania. Archaeological finds such as stone tools from the Austronesian era have been found near the village of Cekik in the west of the island of Bali.
In ancient Bali there were 9 Hindu sects namely Pasupata, Bhairawa, Shiva Shidanta, Vaishnava, Bodha, Brahma, Rishi, Sora and Ganapatya. Each sect honors a certain deity as its personal God. Balinese culture is strongly influenced by Indian, Chinese and especially Hindu culture. The culture began near the 1st century AD.
The name Bali Dwipa ("Bali Island") has been found from various inscriptions, including the pillar of the Blanjong inscription written by Sri Kesari Warmadewa in 914 AD which says "Walidwipa". At that time the Subak irrigation system was developed to grow rice. Some religious and cultural traditions still exist today and can be traced back when you visit Bali (Universal Data About Bali).
