Purnama Kedasa 2024 in Bali

The full moon celebration is one of the most signi​fic​ant holidays for the Balinese Hindus

Dates: March 24, 2024

On this special day, ​Balinese Hindus celebrate the full moon with various rituals. This ancient tradition in Balinese Hinduism combines animism, ancestor worship, and respect for nature. Thousands of devotees gather in the mother temple, Besakih, for the 'Betara Turun Kabeh' ceremony to invite the deified ancestors and gods for a blessing. For Balinese Hindus, the moon is a symbol of female energy. The full moon period is a time of spiritual renewal and purification when a person seeks a balance between their own self and nature. On the preceding Sunday, believers go for 'Melasti', a purification pilgrimage where people carry temple objects and heirlooms to the sanctified water sources. To experience such an authentic holiday is definitely worth a lot!​​
