Bali was the perfect place for Indians to visit since most people on Bali are Hindu, which is also the dominant religion in India, he said

“Hinduism is a religion that is growing in India and Bali. The people from both places find spiritual and cultural connections through Hinduism,” he said. He added that many tourists from India were amazed by the development of Hinduism in Bali, including how this religion mixed beautifully with the local culture and arts, which was different from Hinduism in India. These uniqueness, he said, was the main attraction for Indian travelers.
