The island’s soul is reflected in the countless shrines that bring spiritual energy to every corner.

A pelinggih is a holy place where offerings are placed daily as a way to honor God, the deities, and ancestors. It reflects the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana—the harmony between humans, nature, and the divine.

They are more than just cultural ornaments—you’ll find them in Balinese homes, temples, shops, hotels, even by rice fields and giant trees.

This is why spirituality feels so alive everywhere you go in Bali, making every space connected to something greater than just the physical world.
