DEVILS AND MOSTERS


Bali is known as the island of the gods. In fact there are plenty of mostly Hindu temples in stark contrast to the rest of the over fifteen thousand islands that exist in Indonesia. It is true that in the Hindu culture, as almost in all religions, there is a diabolical threat, that here in some temples acquires a very unusual sympathy in the form of multi colorful figures, that are repeated in many Asian areas, but here come to be dominated by the gods of the island of gods, who on this island they have the main role. These demons put an important note of color on an island where the dominant colors are the green of its larges paddy fields, the black lava volcanoes that reach the beaches in the form of black sand and gray of their cloudy heaven that sometimes contrasting with the blue of the cloudless sky.
