Pekanbaru, Indonesia. 24th Apr, 2016. Indonesian culture through shadow shadow puppet show, or Wayang, as it's called in local tongue, is one of the highlights of Javanese culture. Today, locals (and also tourists) attend these evening performances as a source of entertainment, but they originally served as catalysts in spreading the word about religious virtues and cultural messages. © Afrianto Silalahi/Riau Images/Pacific Press/Alamy Live News
