While in Bali, I was amazed by the profusion of offerings. Offerings are to give pleasure to the gods (and the demons). They also provide good karma to those involved in their preparation. Nearly every village has its own unique forms of offerings. Some Balinese spend all their lives making them. August 2004.

A Bali, j’ai été étonné par l’abondance d’offrandes. Les offrandes doivent apporter du plaisir aux dieux (ou aux démons). Elles assurent aussi un bon karma à ceux qui les préparent. Presque chaque village a sa propre forme d’offrandes. Certains Balinais passent leur vie à en confectionner. Août 2004.
