Selamat Hari Raya Galungan dan Kuningan
Bali Marks ‘Galungan‘ Recalling the Holiday’s Celebration of the Triumph of Good Over Evil.
Galungan and the marking of Kuningan ten days later when ancestral spirits again take their leave of this earth, is a very special period when the people of Bali are on their very best behavior: every village bustles with musical and dance performances; streets are clogged with elegantly dressed families carrying huge mounds of breathtakingly beautiful offerings to nearby temples; and the Balinese feel a very special attachment with their families, friends and the island they love.
Kalo mau lihat penjor yang bagus dan ‘nyeni’ ini dia waktunya, coba aja jalan-jalan ke desa-desa deretan bambu berhiaskan janur nan indah ini pasti bisa kita temukan disepanjang jalan.
Perayaan yang bertujuan untuk merayakan kemenangan dharma atas adharma berlangsung meriah di Bali.
