Made Surita captures beautifully dressed women who hurry toward the temple to worship. The offerings they carry are made from young coconut leaves and special herbs, decorated with the most beautiful fruits, cakes, rice and meat. Banten (offerings) are always borne on the head, in order to honor God at the highest elevation. Banten is a ritual of unity (upakara persembahan) for the Hindu people in Bali, the artist explains.
