Bali historically has had a tradition, culture, and religious commitment in the form of an organization called Subak. The belief of Subak members in conceiving land as Mother Nature, water as a symbol of Lord Vishnu, and rice as Goddess Sri strengthens the existence of Hinduism-based Subak cultural wisdom.
