NI Made Sutini placed her canang sari (special offering) on a pelangkiran (a portable wooden altar) placed above a clay hearth at the back of her house in Banjar Merita, Karangasem. After placing the offering, she recited a prayer.

Sutini performs this very ritual before distilling palm wine into arak, a process called mumpunin by locals. In the ritual, locals request protection and blessings from the god of fire arak known as Ida Bhatara Arak
