This is one of the media used by Hindus in Bali as part of most important ceremonies, especially for the temple anniversary celebrations.
The penjor is a tall, curved bamboo pole decorated with coconut leaves with an offering at the base.
The penjor symbolizes the mountain and the mountain itself is the symbol of the universe. Therefore, for the Balinese the penjor is synonymous with Mount Agung, the highest and holiest mountain in Bali.
During Galungan celebrations, each family erects a penjor outside their gate, which makes the whole neighborhood look splendid.
