The tradition
Sanghyang (Balinese: ᬲᬂᬳ᭄ᬬᬂ) is a traditional sacred Balinese dance originated from the Indonesian island of Bali. It is based on the premise that an unseen force enters the body of an entranced performer. The force, identified as hyang, is an important type of spiritual entity in ancient Indonesian mythology. The sanghyang dances are considered sacred ritual dances and are performed exclusively at Balinese religious ceremonies.¶
