The phrase canang sari is derived from the words “sari” (essence) and
“canang” (a small square of coconut-leaf basket decorated with a combination of
colorful flowers). A Canang Sari is completed by placing on top of the canang an
amount of money (”kepeng”), which is said to make up the essence (the “sari”) of
the offering. Canang Sari is made from young yellow palm leafs, Flowers, and
