Its Evolving

I noticed something different when I visited the rice field near my relative's house. They have a different type of shrine there in the rice field. the shrine there is much more modern than the one here in my place.

Yes, the Balinese Hindu people usually built a shrine in the rice field, which they used to pray when they started cultivating the land, and several other ceremonies after planting the rice. We even had a ceremony, right after the rice plant, started to bear grain, we cared for them like a baby, and there is a ceremony just like a newborn baby.

And the shrine is evolving as well, from a very traditional and simple shrine to a much more modern just like what I saw over there.

In this first photo, is one of the simple shrine, made of bamboo, and then a platform at the top, also made from bamboo, to hold the offerings.

And then this one is the modern version, made from a precasted materials.

Here is the other shrine, this one even has its own border, very different from what I have at my home town.

Do you notice, how many shrine over there?
at least there are three different shrine compound can be seen here.
