Ubud is awash in color. Pink and purple petals adorn daily offerings. Terraced rice paddies rest in open fields. And life-sized, gilded statues grace city streets and guard against danger. What’s so special about this city of 74,000 in central Bali? Ubud offers a window into a rich culture with locals who are humble and kind. I viewed Balinese religious practices, stunning architecture, and amazing art across Ubud for five days in January.
I love your images in the story!
