In medieval era Hindu temples, archeological sites and manuscripts discovered in Indonesian and Malay islands, Hanuman features prominently along with Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Vishvamitra and Sugriva. Hanuman, along with other characters of the Ramayana, are an important source of plays and dance theater repertoire at Odalan celebrations and other festivals in Bali.
