Balinese Celebration
Published in Untagged by coffeecopper |
GALUNGAN & KUNINGAN Balinese Celebration Wednesday March 27 - 2013
Celebrated every 210 days according to the Hindu Saka Calendar, Galungan symbolizes the victory of Dharma over Adharma or virtue over evil which has its origin in the mythology of “Mayadenawa”. It is believed that during the ten days of Galungan, all the gods, as well as the supreme deity Sanghyang Widi, will come down to earth and join the festivities. The Balinese also believe that the spirit of ancestors and deceased relatives return to visit their homes, thus various rituals and offerings are conducted to welcome them. During the festival, the whole island creates tall bamboo poles called "penjor" – that are usually decorated with fruit, coconut leaves, and flowers, and set up to the right of the entrance of every home. At each gate, one will also find small bamboo altars set up especially for the holiday, each one bearing woven palm-leaf offerings for the spirits. During Galungan, a ceremony known as Ngelawang is performed in every village. Ngelawang is a ritual to expel evil and any negative spirits, which is performed by a "barong" - a divine protector in the form of a mythical beast. His presence is meant to restore the balance of good and evil in the village. The last and a pinnacle to the ten day festival is called Kuningan. It is believed that on this particular day, the supreme god Sang Hyang Widi descends to earth to give blessings for all the people. A special offering of yellow rice is prepared in each house. As closure to the series of Galungan rituals, Kuningan also marks the return of all the gods and ancestors to their own realm.
