After leaving Mas, we encountered another of the ubiquitous temple ceremonies. Gede thought that this might have been a wedding, but we couldn't be sure. You can see the women carrying offerings coming from and going to the temple, all dressed in the traditional sarong and lace blouse. I was very pleased to find out that it is the act of creating the offering that is important to the gods. Once it is complete, it is finished as an offering, so then becomes "leftovers" which they take back to their homes and share with family and friends. None of this food is left at the temple to rot.
