Galungan & Kuningan in Ubud
Experiencing Bali’s Sacred Celebration from LeRosa Valley Resort
There are moments in Bali when time feels slower, the air becomes gentler, and the island reveals its spiritual soul. Galungan and Kuningan are two of the most meaningful celebrations on the island. Staying at LeRosa Valley Resort, located in a quiet village area of Ubud, allows guests to witness these sacred traditions in a way that feels intimate, respectful, and naturally connected to local culture.
What Galungan & Kuningan Mean
Galungan celebrates the victory of good (dharma) over evil (adharma). It is believed that during this period, ancestral spirits return to visit their families.
Ten days later, Kuningan marks the closing of the celebration. It is a day of gratitude and spiritual farewell as the ancestors return to the heavens.
These ceremonies represent balance, harmony, and the value of togetherness in Balinese life.
A Different Atmosphere in Ubud’s Valley
Around LeRosa, the calm valley, rice terraces, and village road create a peaceful setting during the celebrations.
- Penjor Decorations
Before Galungan, tall bamboo penjors decorated with coconut leaves and offerings appear along the roads near the resort. They create a beautiful and meaningful atmosphere for guests to enjoy. - Morning Prayers
At sunrise, the scent of incense and the sound of distant temple bells can often be felt around the valley. It’s a gentle reminder of Bali’s strong spiritual roots. - Village Traditions
Local families prepare offerings, decorate their homes, and visit temples. Guests staying at LeRosa can observe these activities from a respectful distance and experience an authentic side of Ubud.
