Galungan to the Balinese is the most important holiday period as it symbolizes the victory of Dharma, or virtue, upon Adharma, or all that is evil. The festivities are made extra special by the fitting of 'penjor' (brightly decorated very tall bamboo poles with woven young coconut leaves, cakes, fruits and flowers) on the right side of the entrance to every house which arch over roads looking like the top of a gothic cathedral.
The last day of the 10-day festival is the most important day. Known as Kuningan, it is the climax of the ten-day Galungan, and also serves to bringing the holiday period to a close. Kuningan is a day for prayer, and a special ritual ceremony is held for the spirits of the Balinese's ancestors. The Galungan Festival also sees the Balinese decked in their finest clothes and jewels for the day. It is a wonderful time to visit Bali and an especially beautiful sacred ceremony to photograph.

This sounds like an interesting event. I really like Bali. I saw one movie lately which featured some places and foods in Bali. Almost all the places looked rural but still very beautiful and, calm, and unpolluted, and not crowded, unlike the cities I used to visit. I am not surprised to know about this festivals people have. I think they still have more to celebrate each year. Maybe it's just that their customs and traditions are very important for each one. :)
