Big ceremony means; the ceremony is one that require and large number of participants (example; Galungan, Kuningan, Nyepi, etc.), sometimes the whole village or Island. Then, small ceremony is one held by every single hindhu family on the Island. As we mention “small ceremony”, it means the ceremony that every single hindhu family has to celeberate.

Every house has a temple and the day that they have finished to build the temple in their house, they will celeberate a small ceremony call “Melaspas“. It will be going concern in every six months and they call it “Odalan“. So that why, Bali call “The Island of Gods“
