One of the stamp is on Kalimantan which is the Indonesian portion of the island of Borneo,
It is often spelled Klemantan and is derived from Sanskrit word: Kalamanthana which means "burning weather island". It consists of the two words kal[a] (time, season, period) and manthan[a] (boiling, churning, burning).
In 2015,UNESCO recognised three genres of traditional dance in Bali, Indonesia, as Intangible cultural heritage. They are Wali (sacred dances), Bebali (semi-sacred dances) and Balih-balihan (dances for entertainment purposes).In Bali there are various categories of dance including epic performances such as the omnipresent Mahabharata and Ramayana.
