Guests and locals alike participate in traditional games and activities that foster community spirit. The atmosphere is charged with patriotism, as the monument serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made for Indonesia’s freedom, making the celebrations at Dajuma deeply meaningful and reflective of the nation’s history.

HAPPY GALUNGAN & KUNINGAN

Galungan and Kuningan are two of the most significant Hindu festivals celebrated in Bali. Galungan marks the victory of dharma (good) over adharma (evil) and is celebrated with great fervor. During this ten-day festival, Balinese Hindus visit temples, make offerings, and engage in various cultural activities.
Kuningan, which falls ten days after Galungan, signifies the day when ancestral spirits return to heaven after visiting the earth during Galungan. It’s a time for prayers, offerings, and expressing gratitude to ancestors.
Puri Dajuma offers a unique experience during these festivals. With its serene ambiance and traditional Balinese architecture, Puri Dajuma provides a tranquil setting for guests to immerse themselves in the cultural festivities. From participating in temple visits to enjoying traditional Balinese dances and music, our guests can truly embrace the spirit of Galungan and Kuningan while experiencing the warmth of Balinese hospitality.

A NICE CHRISTMAS GIFT AT DAJUMA

Saraswati Day in Bali, celebrated on December 16th, is a vibrant cultural occasion dedicated to the goddess of knowledge, Saraswati.
