indonesia bali legong dancers

The Legong is considered the most elegant dance form in Bali, always performed by young girls who retell a story from the Ramayana. See a dozen versions; all are completely unique and mesmerizing.

Hi FriskoDude,

I'm an admin for The British Library. We've got a new group on Flickr called Ramayana Now, and we'd love to have you join and add this photo!

The group is in connection with our current exhibition here in London, Ramayana: Love and Valour in India's Great Epic. We're exhibiting over 100 lavishly illustrated 17th century Indian manuscript paintings that tell the story of Rama and his quest for Sita. Contemporary Ramayana inspired photographs submitted to the group will also be displayed on a screen in our gallery, as part of the exhibition.

We'd be very happy if you'd like to take part. You can find out more by visiting:

or

Thanks, and best wishes,

The British Library Web Team
