Bali Festivals - Taking a glance of Bali's enchanting Culture.

Touching Bali’s tradition and culture can be a memorable experience, Bali has numerous temples and in fact it is famous for temples and often called the "Land of Temples". I learnt from my Bali friends that it is customary that every village will have minimum three temples, Bali has more than 20,000 temples in the island and each temple should hold festivals at least twice a year. The festivals accompany colorful parades and procession with people wearing colorful attires. 

Bali has many festivals observed round the year, the most important being the Nyepi or the Hindu New Year, on this day absolute silence is observed in the belief that evil spirits will go away elsewhere to find their prey thinking this region as a deserted place. People and tourists are advised to stay indoors and speak as much as less possible. Balinese people are very ritualistic, they have an immense belief on religious performances. 

This festival represents the true nature of Bali people showing their tolerance and acceptance. It falls in the month of March every year. Many adjustments are made to make sure the festival is observed, airports and railway stations stop operations, the street is empty throughout the day and night. The silence is observed from early morning 0600 hrs. and continue till next 24 hours. On this occasion they take out Ogoh-Ogoh (colorful giants) procession which is an amazing sight to see and enjoy. Other festivals include Galungan in which Gods and ancestors are believed to visit the Earth.

More about my Bali visit is coming on the future post.... Till then enjoy reading these surprising facts about the enchanting land of Bali

To be content with what one has is the greatest and truest of riches.

Cicero

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
