Balinese Hinduism are in various sects of Hindu-Buddhism, the veneration of ancestors and ancient Indonesian animisms.

According to the Balinese, the universe is divided into three realms: the realm of the Gods, the realm of the demons and ground spirit, and the realm of people. The microcosmos, same as the universe, is also split into three areas: the mountains - the home of the Gods; the sea - the powerful forces of dissolution dwell; the region - the place where people live. This order of three parts division is repeated endlessly in people life and human body.

Based on this order of universe, the heart of Balinese cultural life is the family compound. The compound is a microcosm of the Hindu-Balinese universe.
