Local Niluh Djelantik spotted the pictures on Instagram and reported the couple to the Balinese authorities, citing her use of the sacred kayu putih tree for the images, which could be deemed “pornographic” under local laws. It follows a Canadian actor and influencer’s deportation from the island for filming himself doing a naked “haka” atop Bali’s sacred Mount Batur. “To all foreigners who visit Bali, please act accordingly by respecting our law and Balinese cultural values,” Jamaruli Manihuruk told AFP at the time.
