Canang sari
Canang sari (Balinese: ᬘᬦᬂᬲᬭᬶ) is one of the daily offerings made by Balinese Hindus to thank the Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa in praise and prayer. "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. Etymology. The phrase canang sari is derived from the Balinese words "sari" (essence) and "canang" (a small palm-leaf basket as the tray). "Canang" itself consists of two syllables from the Kawi language: "ca" (beautiful) and "nang" (purpose). Parts. "Canang sari" has some parts; there are  peporosan, "ceper", "raka-raka", and "sampian urasari". "Peporosan" or the core material is made from betel leaf, banana leaf, lime, gambier, prestige, tobacco and betel nuts. Material of "peporosan" symbolizes the Trimurti, the three major Hindu Gods. Shiva is symbolized by lime, Vishnu is symbolized by betel nut, and Brahma is symbolized by gambier. "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. Usage. "Canang sari" is offered every day to Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa as a form of thanking for the peace given to the world; it is the simplest daily household offering. The philosophy behind the offering is self-sacrifice in that they take time and effort to prepare. "Canang sari" is not offered when there is a death in the community or family. Canang sari is also  used on certain days, such as: Kliwon, Purnama, and Tilem.
