Geography
Bali lies between Java and Lombok, separated from each by narrow straits. The volcanic Gunung Agung rises to 3031 m on the eastern side and last erupted in 2017 to 2019.

Bali is the only Hindu-majority province of Indonesia, with about 87 percent of residents practicing Balinese Hinduism. Temple festivals follow both the 210-day pawukon calendar and a separate lunar Saka calendar.
