"Barong is a lion-like creature and character in the mythology of Bali, Indonesia. He is the king of the spirits, leader of the hosts of good, and enemy of Rangda, the demon queen and mother of all spirit guarders in the mythological traditions of Bali. The battle between Barong and Rangda is featured in Barong dance to represent the eternal battle between good and evil."Source
I'm impressed! Sid you watch the whole performance?

Yes Asher. I was lucky to see the entire performance and had the chance to go backstage before and after
the dance.

It is indeed splendid, the movements, the costumes, the cast of characters.


Thank you.

Hi Nicolas.

Best regards.
