One of the shrines is an old-fashioned troop transportation vehicle and the other is a white sedan.
Most shrines use statues of beautiful women, handsome men, scary demons or a variety of animals. However, the village residents firmly believe that the unseen forces, or niskala, that are such an integral part of Balinese life and protect the village, locally took the form of soldiers and officials.
The locals had often seen strange-looking men dressed as soldiers crossing the village. The village had always remained calm, even during the ogoh-ogoh parade and local elections. Neighboring villages have seen unrest, but here it stays calm. Many people have seen the security officials guarding our area. Every full moon and new moon, ritual blessings and prayers are made at the shrines, as with all shrines in Bali. According to the local people, on Saraswati Day, the sound of a vehicle horn came from the truck shrine, further convincing them that their own unseen security force is protecting their village.
