1945 is the year when Indonesia became independent.

This year is when we celebrate Nyepi Day New Year 1945 Caka.

In silent, we do self-reflection and introspection.

Hopefully, we could be independent and better individuals afterwards.

Happy Galungan day on Wednesday 10 November 2021 and Kuningan day on Saturday 20 November 2021

Every 210 days you will certainly notice on the whole Island of Bali you are surrounded by bamboo poles, known as “penjor,”. This is the sign that Galungan Day is coming soon. Decorated with fruit, flowers and coconut leaves, these tall poles are found on every street outside every Balinese home.

Galungan is a unique 10 day celebration of the victory of ‘Dharma’ over ‘Adharma’, also known as the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’. It marks the time when the ancestral spirits visit the Earth. The last day of the celebration is Kuningan, 10 days after Galungan, when they return.

Actually, Galungan itself only lasts 4 days (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday), but the entire process (according to traditional lore) can take up to a month. Here’s how it goes:

25 days before Galungan on a Saturday: this is Tumpek Wariga, when the Balinese ask for blessings from nature. Fun fact: In old times, people tapped or lightly cut tree trunks and whispered to trees so that the trees will produce fruit quickly. But today, this is rarely done. People just present offerings on the shrines on trees.

6 days before Galungan on a Thursday: this is called Sugihan Jawa. It has nothing to do with the island of Java; it is said to be called this because it was a tradition that originated from the Majapahit Empire. On this day, the Balinese present offerings to “cleanse” the universe (bhuana agung).

5 days before Galungan on a Friday: this is called Sugihan Bali. It’s similar to Sugihan Jawa, but this time, the Balinese “cleanse” themselves (bhuana alit).

3 days before – Penyekeban - Cooking of bananas for offerings. Families begin their preparations for Galungan. “Penyekeban” means “the day to cover up “, as this is the day when green bananas are covered up in huge clay pots to speed their ripening.

2 days before – Penyajaan - Making of jaja (fried rice cakes) for offerings
Marks a time of introspection for Balinese and a time to make the Balinese rice cakes known as jaja. These colored cakes, made of fried rice dough are used in offerings and eaten on Galungan.

1 day before – Penampahan - Sacrificing of pigs or chicken for feasts
The day before Galungan, pigs and chickens are blessed and ceremonially slaughtered to make food for Galungan including lawar, a kind of spicy salad and sate.

Galungan Day: our ancestors ride into battle and defeat the evil spirits. Hurray, we win! This is the climax of Galungan, the Balinese put on their finest traditional clothes to attend temple prayers with their families and bring offerings to share and enjoy after praying. All the local temples are very crowded and colorful on Galungan, a beautiful time to observe the most fascinating part of Bali’s spiritual culture.

1 day after Galungan: Umanis Galungan, the time Balinese take a break and visit families to strengthen cordiality.

Kuningan Day, that marks the end of the Galungan holiday, is celebrated ten days after Galungan (always the Saturday).

The Balinese believe that Kuningan day is the day when their ancestors return to heaven after visiting the earth during Galungan celebration. They make offerings to be given to the ancestors on their farewell day. The offerings include yellowed rice (Kuningan is originate from the word kuning which means yellow) which is placed in a small “bowl” made of coconut leaves. The yellow rice is the symbol of human’s gratitude towards God for all the life, joy, wealth, health and prosperity given.
