A young German tourist is being investigated by Bali police after storming a sacred Balinese dance performance at a temple - all while naked. 

Darja Tuschinski, 28, walked up to the stage at a temple in Bali's Ubud with no clothes while the dancers remained calm and continued their performance.

In footage that has gone viral, the German tourist could be seen walking up the temple stairs before she approached a door, where she appeared to pose.

Tuschinski then barged through the door, before a man tried to get her off stage where she was seen holding up her hand towards his face.

She then made her way back down the stairs where she kneeled down near the audience in front of the stage and appeared to pray.

Her actions have since caused outrage online and local police have told Coconuts Bali that the naked incident is being investigated by local police. 

Coconuts Bali report the Tuschinsku was apprehended by staff members before Ubud police arrived.
