Galungan is a Balinese holiday that occurs every 210 days and lasts for 10 days. Kuningan is the last day of the holiday.  During this holiday the Balinese Gods visit the Earth and leave on Kuningan.

Galungan marks the beginning of the most important recurring religious ceremony that is celebrated by all Balinese. During the Galungan period the deified ancestors of the family descend to their former homes. They must be suitably entertained and welcomed, and prayers and offerings must be made for them. Those families who have ancestors that have not yet been cremated, but are still buried in the village cemetery, must make offerings at the graves.

As well as the family temple, visits are made to the village temple with offerings as well, and to the homes of other families who may have helped the family in some way over the past six months.

If you are here on holiday during this time, you are sure to see parades of Balinese dressed up in their beautiful ceremonial clothes.  Keep your camera on you at all times for some fabulous photo opportunities!!
