Life in Bali: Galungan & Kuningan Nov 2021, Street Food + the Peace & Cheer of the Balinese

(EN/Bahasa Indonesia/Bahasa Malayu/中文) Bali celebrated Galungan & Kuningan starting from 10 Nov 2021 recently & we went along to discover more! Galungan is one of the most important ceremonies on the Balinese calendar. In the Old Javanese language, the word Galungan means ‘victory’. This is a 10 day Balinese celebration of the victory of the Hindu god Indra, over the rebel King Mayadenawa, who had denied Hinduism in his lands. The celebrations culminate on the day of Kuningan celebrations at the end of the 10 days.

The Balinese believe that on Galungan, spirits, notably ancestors and deities, come down from their heavenly abode and visit Earth. The living therefore prepares bountiful offerings, rituals and prayers to await and welcome them. On Kuningan, the spirits and deities return to their celestial skies.

In between all the celebrations, there was also lots of Balinese Street Food happening! Yummy enak Bakso, Lontong, Sate Ayam, Ice cream and more!

This was a truly amazing cultural showcase to witness. We were extremely touched by how the entire communities and families in Bali just came together in these celebrations radiating peace, contentment and togetherness. The sense of community and openness was overwhelming and really enviable.

This was a wonderful chance to observe a most fascinating part of Bali’s unique culture and we are so grateful to be here! Hope you guys enjoy the video!
