A good news to everyone who will visit Bali this March, because there will be two big Bali’s holiday will occur, first to come on 18th March is the Galungan Day, as you all know, this is one of the biggest ceremony in Bali, where everybody will take place at their home to pray and celebrate the day where the Good are the winner against evil one.

You will soon find out the feel of the Galungan Day before, the Hindu people in Bali will put the “penjor” before the day as a sign for a big event to come. Penjors will decorate all the road in Bali, more specific is in the front of every houses compounds.

And second big holiday is the “Nyepi” Day or litteraly mean “Quite Day” or “Day of Silence” occure on 26th March just 2 days before the Kuningan Day, usually there will be a “Ogoh-Ogoh” parade on Nyepi’s eve, but this year, Bali’s government decided not to, as it the same time with the General Election in Indonesia.

To my fellow brothers and sisters out there, embrace your self for Galungan & Nyepi day!

On this year, Indonesia will be schedule for the General election, and for some security reason the incoming Nyepi’s eve on 25th March, there will be no parade for Ogoh-Ogoh. If you guys who plans to visit Bali this year and to watch that parade you might need to change your plan.

Ogoh-Ogoh parade is the bigger version of what is called “pengerupukan” a some kind of ceremony to symbolize for the “Bhuta Kala” or evil spirit to get their ass off the house compound and to purify and balance the house spiritual atmosphere, so every one should live in harmony. So each houses in Bali will still doing the “pengerupukan” ceremony in their own house with their own way, make some noises and shouted to evil spirit to get out from their house compound.
