Kuningan day, around Ubud

the woman was carying offerings to the rice paddy on Kuningan day

 

Kuningan takes its name from the fact that special offerings of yellow rice (nasi kuning) are made by colouring ordinary white rice with tumeric (kunyit). It is a time for family groups, prayers, and offerings, as their ancestors return to heaven.
