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.
