At Lake Beratan in Bali, traditional boats play a significant role in daily life and cultural practices. Locals often use small, colorful canoes or "jukungs" to cross the lake, particularly for fishing, transportation, and ceremonies. These boats are essential for those living near the lake and have become part of the cultural heritage, symbolizing the balance between people and their environment. Additionally, boat-based rituals and offerings are common, as Ulun Danu Beratan Temple on the lake is a major site for Dewi Danu worship, the goddess of fertility.
