Indonesian Batik

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all finding my blog informative. Today I am going to discuss about Indonesian Batik.

In October 2' 2009, Indonesian batik was designated by UNESCO,  as the Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Since then, on every Friday citizens of Indonesia wear Batik and even they celebrate October 2 as a National Batik Day.

Batik Child Sling

The culture of Indonesia is very well related to batik. Infants are carried in batik slings which are designed with the symbols that are believed to bring child luck.
A person's rank can be determined by the pattern of batik he wears. Some deigns there are even reserved there for brides, bridegroom and even for there relatives. There they even celebrate a ceremony called Naloni Mitoni in which women wear seven layers of cloth when there child touches the Earth for the first time.
