Wayang is the traditional puppetry and drama of Indonesia, which has been loved by the people of Indonesia for centuries, beginning since prehistoric times right down to the present day.
Wayang comes from the word bayang, (shadow), and began in ancient times as a ceremony for calling departed spirits by hanging a coconut oil lamp and casting shadows on a wall or stretched white cloth.
Wayang developed from the 9th and 10th centuries as a media for performance of scenarios with themes from the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata,
and subsequently beginning from the middle ages scenarios with themes based on Islam were also created.
The varieties of wayang have developed from age to age, until now there are more than 60 varieties of wayang, spread all over Indonesia.More Here...
