As Hindus, the Balinese people partake in a
daily ritual called canang sari. They carefully construct an origami-like
hand-sized box made with palm or banana leaves and fill it with colorful
flowers. These offerings can be found anywhere from sidewalks to stairwells to
temples all over the island and are a symbol of gratitude to the Hindu gods.
The time and effort it takes to create these beautiful offerings, sometimes
daily, may be what makes the Balinese people always smile and exude peace and
joy.
