In the afternoon of Penampahan Galungan people install the penjor in front of their house compounds - tall, decorated bamboo poles that are curved at the top. These penjor are a type of offering with which people express their gratitude for the prosperity of the earth that is bestowed on them. The bow of the penjor symbolizes the holy mount Agung, the tall bamboo the rivers that run down from the mountains to the sea, and the decorations of fruits and plants are symbolic for the crops that can grow where the river (symbol for water) passes the farm lands on its way to the sea.
