The Ramayana Ballet is a spectacular open-air dance drama performed against the floodlit backdrop of the Prambanan temple. Over 200 dancers and musicians enact the Hindu epic in full costume with gamelan accompaniment, making it one of Southeast Asia's grandest cultural performances.
The outdoor Ramayana Ballet at Prambanan was first staged in 1961, making it one of Indonesia's longest-running performing arts events. The four-episode cycle covers the abduction of Sita, Hanuman's mission, the Battle of Lanka, and the triumphant reunion — performed over four consecutive full-moon evenings during the dry season.
