Ramayana Ballet

Ramayana Ballet Prambanan is one of the most popular cultural shows in Yogyakarta. It takes place at the Prambanan Temple Complex in Sleman, about 17 kilometers east of the city center. The show features traditional Javanese dance, music, and drama in an open-air theater, with the stunning Prambanan Temple as its backdrop. Since 1961, audiences have enjoyed the epic Hindu story of Prince Rama, Princess Shinta, and their fight against Ravana, told through graceful dance, gamelan music, and colorful costumes. The combination of storytelling, live performance, and the illuminated temple makes this a memorable experience for visitors from around the world.

Bring a light jacket or shawl because the show is outdoors at night, and it can get chilly.
