Balinese offerings

These common, daily offerings to both good and evil spirits are called "canang sari" by the Balinese. They are handmade works of art in their own right and can also be seen on the altar of the shrine I posted earlier. This time, I took a whole series of photos featuring them in various places. The materials, herbs, flowers, food and money in each offering have much religious symbolism and purpose; for further reading : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canang_sari
