An abangan girl at the Kuningan Celebration
Thanks to Thomas (Mio Cade) for this Bali Trip. Saw this girl and noticed that her thoughts seem to be elsewhere.
The biggest Hindu's festival called Galungan and Kuningan, both falling every six months or twice a year in Balinese calendar or every 210 days because in Balinese calendar are consist of 35 days in each month. Both celebrations are for celebrating the winning of good (Dharma) over the bad (Adharma). Usually, people will go for their hometown to celebrate these days together with family. They will pray to Ancestors at the family's Temple and some Temples in the village which are related to their family root.
The last day of those three is the Post Galungan Day which is Manis Kuningan. This is the time for visiting friends, relatives who live in other area of their living or hometown. The people who are visited welcome the visitors warmly and serves with tape (fermented sticky rice) and jaja uli (rice cake). The togetherness and warmth can be maintained from time to time.
