Balinese Clothes
(by: Administrator - on Jul 19, 2007 for country Bali)
Clothes for Balinese are not only used to cover their bodies, but also used to cover a building especially holy building such as temples. When temples have just been built, Balinese held a special ceremony to cover the clothes, decoration and accessories all over the temples.
When Bali Art Festival were first held at 1979, each district showed their own original clothes. It was shown that in time, Bali was a part of Indonesia which had several kind of clothes. These clothes, until now, are used to attend many ceremonies held in many different time. Kain Poleng Sudhamala, Songket, Prada and Sekordi are name of clothes in Bali which have philosophic meaning in doing their ceremony ritual.
There are 3 sections of Balinese Clothes, such as :
