Prambanan and Batik Sarong

Motif Batik
On 2nd Oct, Indonesia celebrated a national's day for batik because it is on UNESCO announce batik as one of the world heritage from Indonesian and shall be preserved. All Indonesian people to wear batik clothes not only for this national's day but also for their daily activities. Other that, wearing batik also applies while in tempel or Pura. For new regulation, wearing a sarong for visitors Prambanan and Borobudur Temple is a must. Besides that, Prambanan temple is the highest Hindu temple in the world and have been included in the World Cultural Heritage List. 

This regulation same like in Bali. In Bali, this regulation already applied for a long time and still maintained untul today. For all the visitors who come to the Pura or temple in Bali must wear Bali sarong. Since all religious activity centered in Pura then it's a must. In Hindu, Pura is a symbol of Holy.

This is a positive influence that can be done to introduce the culture of batik as Indonesia's cultural heritage to the world and native culture.
