and I Nyoman Windha. Puspanjali is one of the welcoming dances which has
dynamic and beautiful movements. The name Puspanjali was taken from the
word Puspa meaning flower and Anjali meaning respecting or greeting.

by 5-7 female dancers. The dancers bring flowers in Bokor or flower
garlands which will be given to the guests in the end of the dance
sequence. If you are invited in some events in Bali you may be able to
