Peliatan is best known for its legong - a graceful dance traditionally performed by two pre-pubescent girls in glittering costumes.

The group’s performances created a sensation, it was then, for example, that French actor Antonin Artaud first witnessed the Balinese barong. Peliatan is also a village of carvers and painters.
