Wayang is a traditional Indonesian performing art originating and growing rapidly on the islands of Java and Bali. UNESCO, the agency in charge of culture from the United Nations, on November 7, 2003 designated wayang as the most famous shadow puppet show from Indonesia, an invaluable World Heritage Masterpiece in the Art of Speech (English: Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity). Until now, the earliest records that can be obtained about wayang performances come from the Balitung Inscription in the 4th Century which reads as si Galigi mawayang. When Hinduism entered Indonesia and adapted the existing culture, this performing art became an effective medium for spreading Hinduism. The puppet show uses the Ramayana and Mahabharata stories.

(sic) Likewise, during the entry of Islam, when performances featuring "God" or "Gods" in human form were prohibited, puppet puppets made of cowhide appeared, where when the performances were watched only their shadows appeared. This puppet is what we now know as wayang kulit. To spread Islam, Sadat puppets also developed which introduced Islamic values.
