Temple architecture in Bali

In the island of Bali, detached by a narrow passage of sea from the mainland of Java, it is recorded, that when the latter was submerged by Islam what remained of the Hindu belief found a retreat in its little dependency. Bali’s structural production are but a pale reflection of the works of the great classical period as this flourished in the larger island.

As regards the remaining island like Sumatra, Celebese and Borneo they may be left out for want of space as we do not find any stupendous undertaking there. After all, all these islands reflect the greater India movement and its representation has been fully fathomed in the fathomless monuments.
