Canang sari

[1] Canang sari will be seen in the Balinese temples (pura), on small shrines in houses, and on the ground or as a part of a larger offering.

[2] Canang itself consists of two syllables from the Kawi language: ca (beautiful) and nang (purpose).

[2] Canang sari are covered by ceper (a tray made from palm leaf) as a symbol of Ardha Candra.

Raka-raka is topped with sampian urasari, which are in turn overlaid by flowers placed in a specific direction.

Each direction symbolizes a Hindu God (deva): A canang sari is completed by placing on top of the canang an amount of kepeng (the coin money) or paper money, which is said to make up the essence (the "sari") of the offering.
