This is a home in Tenganan village. Notice the small offerings placed near the door.

These little palm leaf boxes filled with flowers, and usually a piece of candy or something sweet, are found everywhere in Bali. Our guide said they are placed in front of the home to ward off "bad magic", in front of businesses to promote prosperity, and in cars for good luck while travelling. The vehicle we were travelling in had one pinned under the windshield wiper. This offering is called canang sari and is practiced by Balinese Hindus.
