DAJUMA CELEBRATES GALUNGAN & KUNINGAN

Every 210 days, Bali celebrates Galungan and Kuningan, a sacred 10-day festival (April 23–May 3) honoring the victory of Dharma (good) over Adharma (evil). The festivities begin with purification rituals (Sugihan Jawa and Sugihan Bali), followed by family preparations like fruit ripening (Penyekeban) and cake making (Penyajahan). On Penampahan Galungan, offerings and feasts are prepared. Galungan day is the highlight, with ancestral spirits visiting homes adorned with beautiful  penjor bamboo poles. After a day of family gatherings (Manis Galungan), the festival concludes with Kuningan, marked by yellow rice offerings and the farewell of the spirits. A beautiful time of sharing between our staff and guests!
