Bali Photo of the Day ~ A Woman brings her Offering to Temple

Todays Bali Photo takes us to a small village in central Bali called Keliki.

Keliki Village is well known for its painting style which depicts Balinese village life in the 1930's. The works are full of small details and the works are often miniature. A detailed painting can take over a year to create and may contain thousands of people in everyday activities such as going to temple much like this woman is doing here. Other depictions may include cremation ceremonies, cockfights, preparing of offerings, dance performances, etc.

Offerings for the Temple Odelon

This kind woman worked for a couple days with her family to create a beautiful offering that she is taking to the local temple for the annual Odelon Ceremony. A Temple's Odelon is the anniversary of the temple and occurs every 210 days as that is the lenght of the Balinese calendar.
