The Penjor is an important part of Balinese ceremonies.A Penjor is made from a long bamboo pole about eight meter high with curved end, and decorated with palm leaves, rice paddies, corn on the cob, coconut, cakes, a piece of white or yellow cloth, etc. It is the symbol of Mount Agung and also as gratitude for the agricultural produce. The arched top of the bamboo pole represents Mount Agung, the body of the pole is a river that flows from the mountains to the sea, and along its route are the products of the harvest, tied to the pole.

Each part and ornament of Penjor is not merely an ornament but it has a deep religious meaning. For instance bamboo pole is a symbol of strong determination to serve God. The four essential ornaments of Penjor which are Tamyang, Bakang-bakang, Sampyan, and Lamak are symbol of Catur Weda (four divisions of Hindu Holy Scripture which are Atarwa Weda, Sama Weda, Yayur Weda and Rg Weda). Ubag-abig a square ornament made of palm and cocunut leaves represents the power of virtue. Palm leaves, rice paddies, corn on the cob, coconut, cakes, and a piece of white or yellow cloth are the symbol of prosperity and gratitude to Ida Sanghyang Widhi (God Almighty).
