In 1980, the temples rock face was starting to crumble and the area around and inside the temple started to become dangerous. The Japanesegovernmentthen provided a loan to the Indonesian government of Rp 800 billion (approximately USD $130 million) to conserve the historic temple and other significant locations around Bali. As a result, over one third of Tanah Lots "rock" is actually cleverly disguised artificial rock created during the Japanese- funded and supervised renovation and stabilization program. n 1980, stnca a fost pe cale s se nruiei zona adevenit periculoas.

Penjor 11. Penjor 12. A penjor is basically a long tapered bamboo pole that is stood vertically in theground, often on the roadside, and decorated in coconut leaves. Due to their lengthof sometimes more than ten metres, they droop charmingly over the pavement likean ancient street lamp.Un penjor este de fapt o tij lung de bambus, nfipt n pmnt, de multe ori pemarginea drumului, i decorat cu frunze de cocotier. Datorit lungimii lor, uneorimai mult de zece metri, ele se arcuiesc fermector peste drum ca nite vechi felinar. 13. Penjors, a welcome symbol for the gods and ancestors. The tall bamboo poles aresplendidly adorned with woven palm leaves, ribbon and flowers. People have beenworking on them for days and each one is different. Theyre made of simple, naturalmaterials, but just like the Balinese, they have a royal presence. The penjors swayin the wind. They reach up to the sky while being firmly planted to the right of everyhome entry. At each gate, youll also find small bamboo altars set up especially forthe holiday, each one bearing woven palm-leaf offerings for the spirits.Penjors, un simbol de bun venit pentru zei i strmoi. Tijele nalte de bambus suntsplendid decorate cu frunze de palmier mpletite, panglici i flori. Au necesitat zile demunc i sunt unice. 14. The penjor is a tall, curved bamboo pole decorated with coconut leaves with an offeringat the base. This is one of the media used by Hindus in Bali as part of almost everyimportant ceremony, especially for the anniversary temple celebrations.Aceste tije de bambus decorate, avnd la baz un mic altar cu ofrande, se fac pentrumarea srbtoare hindus Galungan dar i cu ocazia altor ceremonii importante, nspecial la srbtorirea templelor. 15. Balinese Hindus erect a penjor in front of their houses to symbolise the dominance of good (dharma) overevil (adharma), as well as offering thanks to God for the fruits of the Earth. About halfway down the polethey attach a small cage in the shape of a triangle and made from bamboo, called sanggah cucuk.Offerings are placed in this and it is considered to be a temporary throne for the Gods when they comedown to Earth for Galungan. If you take a close look at a Galungan penjor, you will notice thats alsoornamented with coconut leaves called sampian and also long strips of white and yellow material tosymbolise that it is a holy offering.A penjor is an offering consisting of a bamboo pole with decorations. The arched top represents GunungAgung, the body is a river that flows from the mountain to the sea, and along its route are the products ofthe harvest, tied to the pole. At the foot of the pole is a temporary shrine. Penjors are found everywherelining the streets at Galungan time, the month-long and most important Balinese religious festival. 16.
