"Mejejahitan" Course at the Bali Hilton International

In every Hindu ritual ceremony in Bali, both at a temple or home, there are always offerings presented to the Gods that comprise a range of fruit, cakes, flowers and ornaments made of young coconut leaves, which represent philosophical values. The Bali Hilton International invited a professional instructor on March 8, 2002 at the Samudra Room, to conduct course of "Mejejahitan" (the plaiting of special forms from young coconut leaves) for all employees, which was also witnessed by enthusiastic guests.

The practice session started by preparing offerings for "Otonan Madya", a ritual ceremony for the child's first " birthday" and the most elaborate of the rites of passage, which continues to be celebrated every six months. The practice then moved on to the high style of ceremony involving both male and female employees.
