Textiles in batik technique

Indonesia is known for its beautiful batik textiles.

Batik is a special way of dyeing fabric using wax for dye resistance, and it has existed in Indonesia for a very long time.

This type of fabric is also available in West Bengal, but here you can find prints depicting various animals, flowers, people, or even stories from folklore.

Gamelan instruments

Gamelan is a special type of music in Indonesia that is played during important events and ceremonies. A variety of instruments are used to perform this music, such as bamboo flutes, rebabs, xylophones, metallophones, and drums.

If you love music, gamelan is the perfect souvenir to bring back from Indonesia. If you find it difficult to bring large instruments, you can always buy a bamboo flute.

Celuk jewelry

If you are heading to Bali, don't miss a trip to the village of Celuk! Here you will discover the skill of silver craftsmen who have been making stunning jewelry for generations.

From delicate silver rings to dazzling earrings, bracelets, pendants, and necklaces, there is something for every taste and budget. The Village of the Peasant is the perfect place to find unique and special souvenirs.

Congklak board game

In Indonesia, you can meet locals playing a traditional board game. It is usually played by girls, but some boys and men also play it. The board is made of wood and has holes on each side, usually five to nine holes, depending on where you are. The price can vary depending on how it is made and what it looks like.

Caping Gunung hat

The Caping Gunung hat is made of bamboo and is usually worn by farmers in villages. However, the Caping Gunung hat is more than just a practical accessory for sun protection. It is a beautiful and stylish souvenir that represents the rich cultural heritage of Java. Add it to your shopping list and bring home a piece of Indonesia's magical past.
