In September, the Balinese Hindu community comes together to celebrate one of its most sacred and revered holidays, Galungan Day.
This special day marks the victory of dharma (good) over adharma (evil) and is a time for devotees to honor the gods and seek spiritual guidance.
On Galungan Day, temples across Bali are filled with the sweet aroma of offerings and the sounds of chanting and gamelan music. Devotees adorn their homes and bodies with intricate decorations, wear traditional attire, and participate in vibrant street processions.
The day is also marked by the consumption of sacred rice cakes and other traditional delicacies. For Balinese Hindus, Galungan Day is a time for reflection, spiritual rejuvenation, and a deeper connection with the divine.
As the world prepares to welcome the festive month of September, Bali is abuzz with excitement and anticipation for this joyous celebration of faith and culture.
In Ubud, a hub for wellness and mindfulness retreats, Galungan Day is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and connect with the universe.
Join us in Bali as we celebrate this sacred occasion and experience the beauty and spirituality of this Indonesian island.
