In Bali, You can almost see statue everywhere and they have different shape as well as size. Interestingly, there are more than hundreds of variation of the statue and there are few that gigantic, that they put in the middle of roundabout, to the smallest that they can put inside your bedroom.
This statue I notice lie outside temple. Bali has hundreds of temple and there are few outstanding one, most common one that you can found is the temple at Tanah Lot. I like this statue, it is like giving feeling of welcoming. It is most common gesture for Balinese people to welcome and even to say hello, if you have been travel to Thailand, they also do the same gesture.
The statue that has elephant nose, is at the entrance of my hotel. It is likely they worship this statue every morning as I can see many flower trace that found near the statue. Although Bali famous with their sunrise and sunset landscape, their statue also bring strong interest to some group of religious that come mostly from India, Thailand, Cambodia and even Indonesia itself.
I love Bali and next few post are still related to Bali.
