Offerings

These offerings are just another way that exemplifies the lack of boundaries between the every day and the spiritual existence here. Balance plays a huge role in Bali's spiritual guidance. All of the gods must be appeased, both good and evil, high and low. Small offerings of rice, sweets, cigarettes and flowers are placed anywhere deemed auspicious. They are placed next to bridges, at crossroads, in cars and in front of shops. Even when the dogs eat them, it satisfies the lower spirits. They are placed just about everywhere, as the island is abundant with spirits.
