Galungan is Balinese holidays that occurs every 210 days and lasts for 10 days. Kuningan is the last day of the holiday. Galungan means “When the Dharma (Goodness) is winning”. Today on Wednesday, Galungan Day in Bali . Balinese will try to return to their own ancestral home at some stage during the day, even if they work in another part of this island. This is very special day for families, where offering are made to god and to the family ancestor who have come back to rest at this time in their family temple, visits are made to the village temple with offering as well, and to the homes of other families who may helped the family in some way over the past six months. Tomorrow 24/1/2008 is time for a Holiday, visiting friends, maybe taking opportunity to the mountain for picnic. Everyone is still seen to be in their ” Sunday Best” as they take to the street to enjoy the festive spirit that Galungan brings to Bali. cheers!
