In Bali, nothing is done at random—especially not ceremonies. The timing of Galungan, like all major rituals, is chosen according to the sacred Balinese calendars. These calendars guide the flow of life on the island, pointing to blessed times when the energies of the universe are most supportive. Whether it’s a wedding, a temple ceremony, or a cremation ritual, these moments are chosen not only for practicality but for spiritual harmony—to act in rhythm with the divine.

In this sacred window, ancestors are not merely remembered—they are welcomed. Balinese believe they return to their homes, to be honored with offerings, prayers, and presence. It is not about worship but relationship. This renewal of connection keeps the living rooted, guided, and protected by the wisdom of those who came before.
