Experiencing the Ramayana Ballet at Prambanan is a breathtaking blend of traditional art, history, and spirituality. The Ramayana Ballet is a spectacular dance-drama that brings the ancient Hindu epic to life without a single word of dialogue. Instead, the story of Prince Rama, his wife Shinta, and the monkey general Hanuman is told through expressive Javanese dance, intricate costumes, and the hypnotic sounds of a live Gamelan orchestra.
