Sekala, Niskala
Visable, invisable... everywhere in Bali there are spirits present in the physical world. Good and bad, "gods" and "demons." Humanbeings can help keep these spirits in balance, it is believed, with their offerings. The daily flower offerings are known as canang, and are always accompanied with a unique and fragrant incense. These are placed (usually by women, but always by someone in a sarong and sash) in doorways of stores, homes, bungalows, or anywhere a spirit might enter.
