spicyayam...check on the back of your balinese calender...every month there are good days listed as good for buying XX or getting married or whatever,
it seems there is a special day for it
during galungan and kuningan those special days are minimal compared to other periods.
don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
just checking.. is it appropriate to say "selamat hari raya kuningan" tomorrow?
thanks..
Hey notting wrong with that and ont the subject of kuningan here some more info on it.Originally Posted by thinking_about_it
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.

Thanks Rhys, I do enjoy your insights into Balinese culture...
Now how about a seperate thread on the 'Bali Gate' it is an iconic structure (not the institutional monumental variants seen & Soekarno Hata airport Jakarta - but the village ones).... why, for example, is it that the Bali Gate doesn't actually ever seem to have a 'gate'?
hey shoggards balis gate? sorry i don't understand what your talking about can you please explane to me

I think he means the "Gapura"...
the two sort of pillars...also seen entering a desa or town...
All I know that it's an important part of Hindu architecture.
and from the carvings one can see a story or meaning.

Gee, I thought they were celebrating the end of Ramadan.
Keep on smiling.
