Indonesia is an important country in Asia, which is known for its large population, natural beauty and cultural diversity. This is the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, but despite this, a deep glimpse of Indian culture can be seen here.
The currency used in Indonesia is called Indonesian Rupiah. It is known as IDR internationally. The responsibility of issuing this currency and handling the economic policies of the country rests with Bank Indonesia, which is the central bank there.
Why is Indonesian Rupiah weak against Indian Rupee?
If we compare Indian Rupee and Indonesian Rupiah, it clearly shows that the value of Rupiah is much less. According to the report of Vice.com, for one Indian rupee, approximately 186 rupiah is available in Indonesia. That means, if a person from India goes to Indonesia with Rs 1 lakh, he can get more than Rs 1 crore 85 lakh Indonesian Rupiah there. However, this does not mean that the economy there is weak. The value of currency depends on many economic factors.
Picture of Lord Ganesha on currency of Muslim country
One of the most interesting things about Indonesia is that despite being a Muslim majority country, it presents a great example of religious tolerance. A large part of the population here is Muslim, while the Hindu population is very less. Despite this, the influence of Hindu traditions is clearly visible in the culture of Indonesia. The picture of Lord Ganesha can be seen on the 20,000 rupiah note of Indonesia. This picture symbolizes how much importance Indonesia gives to its historical and cultural heritage.
Ramayana, Mahabharata and the imprint of Hindu culture
Even today, the stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata are alive in Indonesia through plays, dances and folk arts. Lord Ganesha, Ram and other Hindu symbols are viewed with respect there. This is the reason why despite being a Muslim majority country, Hindu symbols remain a part of its currency and culture.
Why is Indonesia special?
Indonesia is not only known for its geographical beauty, but this country is also a unique example of religious coexistence and cultural diversity. Despite being a weak currency, its historical heritage and connection with India gives it a distinct identity from other countries.
