在印尼90%以上的人信奉伊斯兰教，而在印尼的巴厘岛，90%以上的人信奉印度教。
巴厘岛有“千庙之岛”的美称，到了巴厘岛，就知道这个美称对巴厘岛来说是当之无愧的！在当今世界上，除了印度本土外，很难找到一个地方，像印尼巴厘岛那样具有浓郁的印度教文化情结。

寺庙在在巴厘岛随处可见，除了较大的公众寺庙以外，还有大大小小的“家庙”、“家族庙”、“社区庙”等，佛龛、信物、神像等等更是在家门口、田间地头随处可见，这些正是巴厘岛的特色所在，是巴厘岛第一道独特的风景线。
据说，这里的印度教教义和印度本土的略有不同，我对印度教没有研究，不好深谈。但从寺庙的外观上来讲，巴厘岛的印度庙和印度的印度庙比较，最相似的是庙门，形式和外装饰都比较近似；而庙堂的结构最大的区别在屋顶，这里的庙堂的屋顶呈方形，屋顶的材料也是就地取材，多为茅草的屋顶，这也构成了巴厘岛印度庙宇的独特模式，比起南印度规模宏伟的印度庙来，这里的则显得小巧别致。
