Metroji clue #46

Bali in five emoji

Indonesia

An island rather than a city, which catches people out. Hindu in an overwhelmingly Muslim country, and the reason its culture looks nothing like the rest of Indonesia.

What each emoji refers to

One island among more than seventeen thousand in Indonesia.
Rice terraces run up the volcanic slopes on an irrigation system managed by temple councils.
Frangipani goes into canang sari, the small offerings left on the ground every morning.
The southwest coast has surf breaks that made the island's reputation in the 1970s.
Ganesha guards doorways across the island, a reminder that Bali stayed Hindu.
