The PURA, a Balinese Temple, is the centerpiece to Balinese life and is revered to this day. Belief in a higher force is as important to life as the daily rice.
Depending on the time of year and month which you visit Bali, you will be able to witness many ceremonies. At night you can hear the priest call out Balinese chants and lull you to sleep. Or on full moon nighhs you may want to participate in a lively evening Temple event. Dancers and blessings will be bestowed upon all who are willing to sit on the ground for two hours under the full moon light.
Even if it is not full moon, we will also able to visit the Karma Temple during the day without a ceremony going on, and explore the Temple grounds on our own. We may even have the chance to get the blessing of a priest. It all depends on timing and fortune. Edy will gladly accompany you on a visit to the Temples and advise you on the proper dress and behavior, as well as give you lots of information. |
