About This Tour
Bali’s culture was shaped by Hindu and Buddhist influences from India and Java many centuries ago. When the Majapahit Kingdom in Java ended in the 14th century, many nobles and priests as well as the people moved to Bali. They brought art, religion, and traditions that still live on today.
During Galungan and Kuningan, Balinese Hindus celebrate the victory of good over evil. Key activities include:
- Offerings: Making colorful offerings (canang sari and banten) to honor the gods and ancestors.
- Temple Visits: Pilgrimages to temples for ceremonies and prayers.
- Barong and Rangda Rituals: Performances representing the battle between good and evil.
- Festive Celebrations: Ubud is the center of many festive celebrations and the town is alive with vibrant colors and traditions.
