The biennial full moon of East Bali
Every two years, Jasri and two neighbouring villages come alive for three days and three nights to celebrate Purnama Kapat, the full moon of the fourth month in the Balinese calendar.
It is a beautiful time of transition. The first flowers begin to bloom, the dry season slowly gives way to the rains, and the whole island seems to pause and prepare for what comes next.
For these three days, the roads become part of the celebration. Thousands of worshippers gather, carrying offerings, wearing their finest sarongs and parading sacred artefacts to the various temples.
There is something deeply moving about being here during a full moon like this. You don't just watch the full moon; you feel it.
So, if you ever find yourself in East Bali during Purnama Kapat, put on your sarong, step into the crowd, and let the moonlight do its thing.
Happy Purnama Kapat 🌕✨
