Festivals in Bali in February
Balinese culture is rich and ancient. It mixes Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, and traditional Balinese customs. As a result, Balinese people celebrate some festivals. In February, the Balinese Hindus celebrate the Galungan festival.1. Galungan

Based on their 210-day-long Balinese calendar, the Balinese celebrate the Galungan festival twice a year, once in February and then in August. To celebrate the victory of good over evil, or as it is known in Balinese as Dharma over Adharma, the festival of Galungan is celebrated. Galungan marks the beginning of 10 days in February, which is marked with a feast, prayers, and dance. The Balinese people believe that the spirits of their ancestors visited them on Earth during this time. As an expression of their gratitude towards their ancestors, they make sacrifices and offerings to them. Fried rice cakes, bananas, and meat (pigs, chicken) are placed on banana leaves and offered at temples. The streets are lined up with tall bamboo poles or penjor, which are decorated with colorful flowers, fruits, and leaves. The offerings to the spirits (of ancestors) are tied to the ends of these vendors. Devotees flock the temples and offer prayers and sacrifices in the name of the spirits.
The Kuningan Day marks the end of the 10-day festivities. The spirits are believed to return to their abode in heaven after visiting their families on Earth.
