Just come back from Bali. Bali is charming. If you were to ask me which part of Bali that I like most, I would say the simple yet delicate Balinese life.
95% of them are Hindu. Yes, Bali Hindu is different from the Tamil Hindu we used to see in the country. They contribute 40% of their income for prayers. The Balinese women woke up 5am every morning to prepare their offerings to God.
I’m amazed with Bali artistic features. We can see stone carved statues everywhere. Be it figurine of Hindu Goddess, Buddha, cat (ya, they like cats), lizard, Barong (the sacred symbol which is known to chase away evils), Garuda(the transport animal of preserving God) or a baby, hehe!
Every roundabout is guided by a statue, it’s said that there are seen and unseen things that help to keep peace and safe. Besides policemen, they build up the goddess statue to safeguard their people on the traffic, interesting ya?!
