Lastly, regional identity is considered to be in the third place of the important identity. According to Samovar, regional identity is often characterized by varying cultural traits. Usually, Bali is heard of their beliefs which are very sacred and the purity of its belief.
Often, whenever people see my Tridatu bracelet on my hand, they will directly identify my regional identity and straightly ask "you must be from Bali, aren't you?". It happened very often, especially when I moved to Yogyakarta where I met a lot of people that do not come from Bali.
