What will you see when you visit Bali during Galungan and Kuningan period? I believe your answer will be Penjor (eight-meter-high bamboo poles festooned with bamboo decorations which are put over roadways or pathways during Galungan or Kuniangan). Penjor will dominate your view wherever you take a look at. It is so beautiful view. But have you ever heard about the actual meaning of it?
Offerings are the most visible way of Balinese in expressing their devotion to God. They make various offering for various ceremony range from the simple daily offering to the gigantic Sarad that is used in a rare and grand ceremony. The offering is an obligatory part of ceremony that no ceremony is considered complete without the presence of adequate offerings.
As a matter of fact there are various kind of offerings and a certain ceremony needs certain kinds and amount of offering that differ from other ceremonies; for example a temple anniversary needs a certain number of Suci offerings, a certain number of pregembal offerings, etc, all kinds and amounts of offerings needed in a ceremony in other words a temple anniversary ceremony will not be considered complete if all the required offerings for a temple ceremony can not be fulfilled.
