Wayang is more than a performing art. It is a civilizational heritage, a source of wisdom, and a reflection of the noble values of the Indonesian nation.

Through each of its stories, wayang conveys lessons on struggle, justice, leadership, and the balance of life. Its characters exist not merely to entertain, but to guide humanity in understanding the meaning of life and moral responsibility amid the changing times.

Amid the rapid flow of modernization, the preservation of wayang serves as a reminder that we must remain rooted in our cultural heritage. The values embodied in wayang—honesty, mutual cooperation, and the courage to uphold truth—remain deeply relevant as guiding principles in building a just and principled nation.

In commemorating National Wayang Day, let us preserve this invaluable heritage not only by recognizing it, but by revitalizing its spirit and philosophy in every step of national development. ✨

Wayang is the voice of Nusantara’s wisdom. From its stories, we learn to become Indonesians who are wise, resilient, and full of integrity. 🇮🇩
