These religious holidays happen twice a year (thanks to Bali\u2019s 210-day calendar), bringing together <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/petitenget-temple-bali-indonesia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ancient legends<\/a>, family reunions, and a whole lot of gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>Tourists often compare these <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/balinese-culture-food-art-ceremonies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cultural Balinese celebrations<\/a> to Christmas, even dubbing them the \u201cBalinese Christmas\u201d. But a more fitting comparison would be Thanksgiving. Like the American Thanksgiving, the celebration of Galungan and Kuningan is a time for family reunions, gratitude and conquests.<\/p>\n<h3>So, what is Galungan?<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-158392 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/Most-beautiful-places-in-Bali-instagrammable-destinations-Balinese-offering.jpeg\" alt=\"bali offering for galungan\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\"><\/p>\n<p>Galungan is one of the most important religious festivals in Bali, symbolising the victory of Dharma (good) over Adharma (evil). For the Balinese, it\u2019s a time when their ancestors&#8217; spirits return to earth, and families come together to honour these spirits through <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/canang-sari-offerings-bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">canang sari offerings<\/a> and prayers. More than just a celebration, Galungan represents the eternal battle between virtue and vice, reminding the Balinese to stay true to their spiritual path. The festival is marked by colourful rituals, family reunions, and the iconic <em>penjor<\/em> (bamboo poles) that line the streets, symbolising nature\u2019s bounty and the protection of the Gods. For the Balinese, Galungan is a deeply meaningful time of reflection, gratitude, and spiritual connection.<\/p>\n<h3>The history of Galungan<\/h3>\n<p>Galungan is all about victory. The name itself comes from Old Javanese, meaning \u2018battle,\u2019 and it\u2019s celebrated as the triumph of Dharma (virtue) over Adharma (vice). It is said that on this day the gods appear as Sang Kala Tiga, three ferocious entities: Sang Bhuta Galungan (The Great Demon of the Battle Day), Sang Bhuta Dungulan (The Great Demon of the Victorious Day), and Sang Bhuta Amengkurat (The Great Demon of the Earth Bearer).<\/p>\n<p>But the story doesn\u2019t stop there. After a dramatic chase and series of transformations (including Mayadenawa disguising himself as everything from a chicken to a rock), Lord Indra eventually defeated the trickster. His victory is remembered every Galungan, and Bali\u2019s famous Tirta Empul water temple, known for its holy spring, is said to have been created by Lord Indra during this battle.<\/p>\n<h3>When is Galungan day in Bali?<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-157822 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/02\/Must-Visit-Hindu-Temples-in-Bali-Indonesia.jpeg\" alt=\"locals doing ceremony infront of the temple for galungan\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\"><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Bali\u2019s unique 210-day calendar, Galungan comes around twice a year. The holiday marks the start of a 10-day celebration, beginning with Galungan and ending with Kuningan. Families across Bali prepare for the arrival of their ancestors, who are believed to visit during this time and remain until they depart on Kuningan day.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, Galungan lands on <strong>Wednesday 23rd April<\/strong> and <strong>Wednesday 19th November<\/strong>. The celebrations last for 10 days, concluding with Kuningan. Kuningan lands on <strong>Saturday 3rd May<\/strong> and <strong>Saturday 29th November<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>How is Galungan celebrated in Bali?<\/h3>\n<p>The day before Galungan, families gather to prepare offerings and feasts, setting the stage for the arrival of their ancestors. It\u2019s believed that the spirits of deceased family members come to visit, and they\u2019re welcomed into family shrines, which serve as their temporary homes for the next 10 days. These home temples, with their multiple altars for family guardians, ancestors, and deities, become the heart of the celebration.<\/p>\n<p>On the final day of the festival, Kuningan, yellow rice (<em>nasi kuning<\/em>) is offered in a symbolic gesture of thanks and farewell to the visiting ancestors. This is where Kuningan gets its name \u2013 &#8220;kuning&#8221; means yellow in Bahasa Indonesia. It\u2019s a time for family reunions, not just with the living but with those who have passed on, similar to Mexico\u2019s D\u00eda de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).<\/p>\n<h3>Galungan &amp; Kuningan: A time for victory, gratitude, and family<\/h3>\n<p>Galungan and Kuningan are much more than just another holiday on the Balinese calendar. They are a time to reflect on the victory of good over evil, to express gratitude for life\u2019s blessings, and to honour both living and departed family members. Celebrated twice a year, these cultural festivals are deeply woven into Bali\u2019s spiritual and cultural fabric, keeping the island\u2019s rich traditions alive and vibrant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Love this article on Galungan &amp; Kuningan?<\/strong><br \/>\nRead more from\u00a0<a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ravinjay.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-original-title=\"\">Dr. Ravinjay Kuckreja here<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a Religious Studies lecturer and expert in ancient Balinese and Indian scriptures.
