In the hilly, northern coastal regions, the main produce is coffe, copra, spices, vegetables, cattl and rice.The Balinese people have strong spiritual roots and despite the large influx of tourist over the years, their culture is still very much alive. The main religion is Agama Hindu Dharma, which arrived in bali with the spread of Hinduism Through Sumatra and Java during The 11th century. Althought originally from India, the Balinese religion is a unique blen of Hindu, buddist, Javanese and ancient indigenous beliefs, with custom that are very different from the traditional form of Hinduism practiced in India today. With the arrival of Islam in neighbouring Java during the 15th century, a large number of courtiers, artists, musicians,and craftsmen fled to Bali, creating an artistic renaissance.
