In Bali, the Hindu tradition is deeply interwoven with local customs, and the reverence for deities such as Sri Devi (often identified with Dewi Sri, the rice goddess) is prominent. Dewi Sri is considered the goddess of rice, fertility, and prosperity, playing a crucial role in Balinese agricultural practices and rituals.
Balinese wood carvings are known for their elaborate designs and fine detailing. Artisans often depict Dewi Sri in traditional Balinese attire, adorned with intricate jewelry and headdresses.
Dewi Sri is typically shown holding rice stalks or seated on a lotus flower, symbolizing fertility and abundance.
Balinese artisans employ traditional techniques passed down through generations. The process often involves meticulous hand-carving and finishing.
