Every Hindu family in Bali makes canang sari offerings daily to please the gods. However, Bali’s recent socio-economic transformations resulting from rapid development in mass-tourism have engendered an increase in people’s mobility related to their work outside of their homes, leaving them with no time to make canang sari daily. The decrease in regional economic income due to the monetary crisis experienced by the Indonesian state in 1998 has created pressure on the Balinese, especially women, to earn additional income for their household by working outside of their home. This has resulted in the emergence of readyto-use canang sari on the market, which is supplied by canang sari dealers and makers every day. Adding the new labor regime as canang sari makers and dealers to the alinese women’s contribution to household chores, childcare, and religious activities mobilizes substantial time and energy in their daily ives. By focusing on how female labor and entrepreneurship are culturally and socially embedded, this article clarifies the interwoven roles of the Balinese. Although it provided new social mobility for these overextended Bali-Hindu women, it also shaped multiples wage labor opportunities utilizing this new demand by making and trading canang sari. |
