Galungan is one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals in Bali. It symbolises the victory of dharma (goodness) over dharma (evil) and honors the spirits of ancestors who visit the island during this time. Elaborate penjor decorations line the streets, and families come together for prayers and offerings at their family temples. It’s a time of joy and gratitude, as Balinese people pay respects to their heritage and seek blessings for prosperity and well-being. The festival culminates with Kuningan, the day when ancestral spirits return to their abode, and the island is adorned with vibrant colours and cultural celebrations. Galungan is a religious event that reflects the island’s strong sense of community and cultural identity.
