The widespread and profound influence
The widespread and profound influence of Hinduism has left cultural and artistic imprints throughout the Southeast Asian region, resulting in shared beliefs, rituals, iconography, monuments, literature, folklore, and various other art forms, the understanding of which can contribute to promoting intercultural relations. This narrated documentary features "Hindu Arts in Southeast Asia", which is a continuation of SEAMEO SPAFA’s programme series on the “Spiritual Arts of Southeast Asia” under the Centre’s “Sacred Universe” flagship programme. The programme began with the workshop on “Islamic Arts in Southeast Asia” held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2012, followed by “Buddhist Art in Southeast Asia” held in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2014, and by “Christian Art in Southeast Asia” held in Manila and Vigan City, Philippines, in 2016.

SYNOPSIS: Hinduism plays an important role in the ritual and cultural life of Southeast Asian communities: in the Buddhist cultures of Mainland Southeast Asia, Hindu deities are worshipped alongside Buddhism and Animism, Brahmins are revered for their heritage and knowledge; in Maritime Southeast Asia, the epic literature of Hindu civilization is deeply embedded in the performing arts and mythical world.
The influence of Hinduism also gave rise to some of the most powerful kingdoms in the history of Southeast Asia, and thus to monumental architecture and associated art forms, including Angkor, Champa, Majapahit, Srivijaya, and Langkasuka. Today, the island of Bali in Indonesia can be considered as the region’s guardian and living memory of Hindu culture in Southeast Asia.
Furthermore, Southeast Asia is home to sizeable communities of Indian heritage who settled in the region as workers, traders, soldiers, administrators during the colonial era (i.e. from British India and French Pondicherry). Even after several generations, these communities continue to practice their Hindu traditions, keeping this vibrant culture alive in the region, notably in Singapore and Malaysia.
