What is Galungan and Why Should You Celebrate it in Bali?
Galungan is one of the most significant religious holidays in Bali, celebrated by the Balinese Hindu community every 210 days. This festival marks the victory of dharma (good) over adharma (evil), a theme that resonates deeply within Balinese Hinduism. It is celebrated for ten days and is a time for Balinese families to gather, make offerings, and perform rituals to honor the gods and their ancestors. Galungan is a moment for reflection, purification, and spiritual renewal.
For those visiting Bali, celebrating Galungan provides an extraordinary opportunity to connect with the island’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage. The vibrant processions, the magnificent penjor (decorated bamboo poles), and the offerings of canang sari (traditional Balinese offerings) make Galungan an unforgettable experience.
Being in Bali during Galungan offers travelers an intimate glimpse into the island’s spiritual practices. It is a time when the streets of Bali come alive with the sights and sounds of traditional music, prayer, and ritual.
