Tomorrow - 6 April - Rahajeng Galungan lan Kuningan

Ten days after Galungan Day, Balinese Hindu celebrates the prosperity day of "Kuningan". The celebrations are split into 3 days

Penampahan Kuningan (Sukra Wage Kuningan)
One day before Kuningan Day that falls on Friday (Sukra). It is the day to do various preparations especially the offerings for the religious celebration of Kuningan Day.

Tumpek Kuningan (Saniscara Kliwon Kuningan)
Kuningan, which falls on Saturday (Saniscara), is the day when Gods and Goddesses accompanied by the holy ancestral spirits (pitara) come down to earth again to bless the people and the universe. It is believed that they will return to heaven in the midday.
On this day, Balinese people do self-introspection by doing a meditation for human's prosperity. Segehan Agung (big offering) is put on the house yard and offerings for the family members are also served.

Pegat Wakan (Buda Kliwon Pahang)
This day is the end of meditation that has been done for 42 days since Sugian Jawa. On this day, Balinese people dedicate sesayut dirghayusa and penyeneng offerings to the Supreme God, Hyang Widhi Wasa. Penjors in front of houses or buildings are put down, and then burned.

The quintessence of femininity, Legong is one of Bali’s most exquisite dance forms. The name derives from leg meaning “elegant movement” and gong for music. Almost 200 years old, this dance was intended for performance by prepubescent girls who symbolized divine celestial angels. Tightly bound in gold-leafed costumes, the girls perform in unison, the flower trees of their headdresses quivering with every movement and shake of their shoulders.
