The firstborn child is named Wayan, Putu or Gede, the second is named Made or Kadek, the third child goes by Nyoman or Komang, and the fourth is named Ketut. If a family has more than four children, the cycle repeats itself. However, you might run into people with names that don’t fit into any of these categories. This is probably because they go by their nickname. With so many Wayans and Mades around, there are nicknames in Bali based on physical attributes such as Made Gemuk (fat Wayan), character traits like Ketut Santi (peaceful Ketut). Balinese people try to be in harmony with their gods. They have two ways: ask the good for assistance and appease the evil. For this reason, you can find a small basket called Canangsa with flowers, oils, salt, money and cookies on all possible conflict points such as crossroads or bridges, but also in front of shops, especially on the sidewalks. You should walk carefully to avoid stepping on it. You will find black and white checkered textile wrapped around statues, trunks, rocks or shrines. Everything goes back to the Balinese philosophy of balance. In the cloth there is an equal number of alternating black and white squares. Together they symbolize the coexistence of opposites. 👉🏻Source: https://www.ultimatebali.com/inspiration/balinese-names-explained/ https://villabossibali.com/en/blog/why-does-bali-statue-wear-black-and-white-checkered-clothes https://www.villa-bali.com/guide/offerings-canangs/ Instagram: karen04016 Contact: karenowen416@gmail.com 👉🏻Karen老師傳送門: https://portaly.cc/KarenEnglish 💰小額贊助: https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/2d064469-3f1d-44a8-b038-215cacdb3eb9 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
