Batik is a national identity that unites diversity. Each stroke of the motif reflects local wisdom, history, and identity that unites us in diversity.

In 2009, UNESCO designated batik as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This global recognition serves as a reminder that preserving, sustaining, and developing batik is our shared responsibility, as a form of respect for our ancestors and a gift for future generations.

Let’s #sahabatwantimpres seize this moment to make batik not only a garment, but also a symbol of unity, perseverance, and creativity of the nation.

Happy National Batik Day, October 2, 2025. 🇮🇩
