Indonesia with its diversity of tribes, races, religions and cultures is a strength for a nation
full of culture. This difference is not a separator, but complements each other to become a
strong nation because they complement each other. Mataya in Sanskrit is dancing. By
dancing we celebrate this diversity by dancing and loving Indonesian culture. Different still
one, love culture, love Indonesia.
