"Canang Sari"
A daily offering, that builds in size depending on the ceremony or holiday. It is a way to give back to God what has been given to you. This is done in order to maintain a good energy between the spirits and the people, and is not based on fear, but is both a duty and honor. These baskets usually consist of rice, flowers, and sweets, although there are also sometimes eggs and fruit. They are usually found at the entrance to every home and store, and beneath statues (and sometimes your feet if you don't watch where you are going...) |
