• Heritage Gallery: The Five Elements (Panca Maha Bhuta) – A deep dive into the five core elements of Balinese cosmology, highlighting their role in spirituality and daily life.
These additions complement existing exhibitions such as Ogoh-ogoh: Walking Among Giants and Balinese Astrology, making SAKA Museum a comprehensive cultural hub .
