Kapal is a place located to the north of Denpasar. As you pass through this quiet village, you can see that its main industry is in the making of household shrines. There are countless shops lining the road in Kapal selling these shrines.
The shrine, or palinggih, is the seat of a local deity. It looks like a tiny wooden hut that stands on a pedestal and roofed with black thatch called ijuk, which resembles human hair.

There is a major temple in Kapal called Pura Sada, which I will describe in its own page.
