The Kuningan

Kuningan is an important celebration in Balinese Hindu culture, typically observed 210 days after the Galungan holiday. This festival honors ancestral spirits and marks the end of the Galungan period, celebrating the victory of good over evil. During Kuningan, families pay respect to their ancestors, often by offering food and prayers at home altars and temples. Traditional ceremonies and offerings are made, featuring yellow rice (kuning) symbolizing prosperity and purity. The event emphasizes gratitude, reflection, and unity within families and communities, fostering cultural heritage and spiritual connection among the Balinese people.
