Songket fabric is a Balinese cultural product that reflects the way of life of the Balinese people through decorative motifs and contains strong meanings rooted in Hindu philosophy embedded in the songket fabric. Balinese songket is woven from pure colored silk and gold thread that forms decorative patterns of various motifs, which are provided to the Balinese people of Brahmin descent, the highest caste in Hinduism.

Balinese residents often use songket for major religious ceremonies and official events, and there have been several traditional Balinese fashion competitions that require participants to wear the desired songket fabric as requested by the event organizers. Native Balinese residents sometimes still find it difficult to determine the type of songket fabric. Songket plays an important role in performing major religious ceremonies, especially the Manusa Yadnya Ceremony (weddings, metatah, and others).

The social and cultural functions of Songket have artistic and aesthetic values in its role in Balinese society, especially in Buleleng, where this woven fabric can be used to promote social harmony.
