Lamak
Friday, June 2nd, 2006 by ablteamA small temporary shrine of bamboo called a sanggah cucuk is always found beneath a panjor. Small offerings to the deities are placed here for as long as the penjor is in use. This shrine is often “clothed” in a symbolic garment called a lamak. The colorful runners made of plaited palm leaf often contain images of prosperity and fertility like the cili, an ancient symbol of both human and wet rice life cycles.
