A woman wearing a traditional purple jacket and wrapped batik skirt sits on the ground with her legs folded to the side as she makes a ritual offering from plaited palm leaves and sticks.
Balinese women spend many hours making offerings which, along with performances, are said to please the gods who are said to visit earth, “the middle world,” during temple ceremonies.
