A cultural mingling occurred in the southwestern part of Central Java, bringing together Javanese culture and Sundanese culture to create the Banyumasan culture. In the central Javanese court cities of Yogyakarta and Surakarta, contemporary kings trace their lineages back to the pre-colonial Islamic kingdoms that ruled the region, making those places especially strong repositories of classical Javanese culture. Classic arts of Java include wayang puppet shows, gamelan music, and Batik painting. The Balinese culture and Hinduism affects almost every aspect of life on the island. It’s a unique mix between sacred Hindu-Dharma and sophisticated local customs.
