Indonesia

The official religion in Indonesia is Islam but in Bali the majority of population adheres to Balinese Hinduism.

It is formed as a combination of local beliefs and Hindu influence.

People in Bali are religious, temples are widespread. 

Almost each house has a corner with temple. Temples have unique style.
