Today, the Balinese Hindus celebrate


Today, the Balinese Hindus celebrate one of the most important ceremonies on the Balinese calendar, Galungan. The ceremony is a celebration to honour the creator of the universe (Ida Sang Hyang Widi) and the spirits of the honoured ancestors.

It symbolises the victory of good (Dharma) over evil (Adharma) and encourages the Balinese to show their gratitude with offerings, prayer, and dance.
