A morning in central Bali begins beneath thick frangipani shade and the low murmur of scooters. On this full-day cultural route, the Barong ceremony fills a village courtyard with measured drums and the ritual clash between Barong, the island's protective spirit, and Rangda, the witch — a performance that moves from stylized combat to trance-driven keris dance.
