KU - DE - TA new year party 2011

Visit from the relatives

Today all Balinese gets a 10 day visit from their relatives. Their dead realitives, that is: the ancestors. Today is Galungan Day where the deified ancestors descend on earth to visit their former homes. They are welcomed like family: pigs are slaughtered, flowers are braided, and whole forests of incense stick are being torched. The roads are lined with penjors, tall and willowy bamboo poles with offerings dangling from their tips, and chants and prayers are heard from every temple. The celebration ends on Kuningan Day, 10 days from now. It is the biggest celebration of the Balinese year, and the most beautiful.

Canang Sari

Walk down any Jimbaran Street, and you find the ground strewn with little square trays made of woven coconut leafs, decorated with flowers, fruits and palm leaves. These are offerings to the gods known as canang sari - 'sari' means essence and 'canang' means offering - diligently placed by the Balinese as part of their daily ritual of worship. You find them everywhere you go on Bali because everywhere is a place of worship. Even in hospitals, airports and shopping malls.

Experience the 'Bukit' and the majestic Uluwatu Temple

The 'drop' of land that is connected to Bali's southernmost tip is called 'The Bukit' - 'The hill'. Now you can experience this area, which is truly unique for Bali, with it's towering chalk cliffs over the azure sea - and also visit one of Bali's most important and beautiful temples, the Uluwatu Temple on a new half-day trip.
