Bali
v6.c41.s20.1
Bali is separated from Java by a narrow strait. Of all the peoples of Insulindia, the Balinese have retained to this day the religion of the early Hindu settlers. They call themselves 'men of Madjapahit,' and indeed many of them are descendants of subjects of the great Hindu kingdom of Eastern Java of that name, who fled across the straits before the incursion of the Muhammadans several centuries ago.’
v6.c41.s20.2
‘There are a number of fine Hindu temple ruins. The native Kampongs are enclosed by walls’. ¹
