Galungan and Kuningan

Galungan and Kuningan constitute a ten-day Balinese Hindu celebration occurring every 210 days as dictated by the Saka calendar. During this auspicious time, it is believed that the heavens open, allowing Ida Sang Hyang Widi and the pantheon of gods to visit the world of mortals. To honour these divine visitors, elaborate rituals are performed, feasts are prepared, and intricate offerings adorn homes and temples, signifying devotion and celebration of their arrival.
