Balinese are very religious and pious. "Canangs" (offerings to Gods) in the form of trays made of palm leaves, filled with fresh flowers and tidbits or boiled rice are not only placed in the pura (temples) but are placed at entrances of homes or shops, accompanied with burning joss sticks. Those that are placed at entrances are usually in the mornings and evenings. Avoid stepping on them when the joss sticks are still lighted, meaning that the prayers are still in progress. If you accidently stepped on those where the prayers are completed, it is ok, otherwise...... just ask for "forgiveness" silently.
