It might come as a surprise that the Balinese have not one calendar but two running in parallel to each other. The Agriculture Department calendar stipulates when to plant and when to spray and runs counter to the traditional calendar.
Although the system is rather complex even to the natives themselves, no Balinese in his or her right mind would dare have a ceremony without first consulting the calendar to pick an auspicious day.
The modern Balinese paper calendar now has three date systems printed on it: Gregorian, Saka (lunar calendar) and Pawukon. This three-in-one calendar also contains all sorts of information ranging from anniversary dates of various Balinese temples to occurrences of full moon and new moon as observed in the Saka system.
Saka or Sasih represents a 12-month lunar system with each month beginning on the day after a new moon or tilem, while a full moon or purnama falls right in the middle of each Sasih month. These days are considered sacred by Balinese, and temple anniversary celebrations and festivals are usually held on a purnama.
Days prior to the Sasih New Year, the whole of Bali participates in celebrations by presenting offerings and performing temple cleansing rites to appease the gods. The day of the New Year, widely known as Nyepi, is the day the entire island goes into reflection and meditation.
While many cultures in the world refer to the moon's movements as a basis for their calendar system, Bali's other calendar is believed to be unique and indigenous to the Balinese - and it's not hard to see why.
The Pawukon calendar is a rare curiosity that is probably rooted in the millennia-old rice growing cycle of the island * though some sources said it could also have originated from Java. There are six months to a Pawukon year and 35 days to a Pawukon month, totaling to 210 days in a Pawukon year.
Here's the part where it gets tricky:
Each Pawukon month is divided into 10 different weeks of different lengths running concurrently to one other. The 10 weeks comprise one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and 10 days each, with each week's name derived from its Sanskrit origin: Ekawara for the one-day week, Dwiwara for the two-day week, Triwara for the three-day week, and so on.
It just so happens that each of the days in each of the 10 different weeks also has a unique name. So any given calendar date could have up to 10 different weekday names, one for each of the 10 weeks that are going on simultaneously!
The most important weeks, however, are the three-, five- and seven-day weeks. Since 210 is a number not divisible by nine, eight or nine, extra days are then added to the weeks with four, eight and nine days * still with me?

Bali Temple Ceremony (The Hindu Balinese temple offering)
Every Temple and Shrine has a special date for it annual Ceremony, or " Odalan ", every 210 days according to Balinese calendar, including the smaller ancestral shrine which each family possesses. Because of this practically every few days a ceremony of festival of some kind takes place in some Village in Bali. There are also times when the entire island celebrated the same Holiday, such as at Galungan, Kuningan, Nyepi day, Saraswati day, Tumpek Landep day, Pagerwesi day, Tumpek Wayang day etc.
The dedication or inauguration day of a Temple is considered its birth day and celebration always takes place on the same day if the wuku or 210 day calendar is used. When new moon is used then the celebration always happens on new moon or full moon. The day of course can differ the religious celebration of a temple lasts at least one full day with some temple celebrating for three days while the celebration of Besakih temple, the Mother Temple, is never less than 7 days and most of the time it lasts for 11 days, depending on the importance of the occasion.
The celebration is very colorful. The shrine are dressed with pieces of cloths and sometimes with brocade, sailings, decorations of carved wood and sometimes painted with gold and Chinese coins, very beautifully arranged, are hung in the four corners of the shrine. In front of shrine are placed red, white or black umbrellas depending which Gods are worshipped in the shrines.
In front of important shrine one sees, besides these umbrellas soars, tridents and other weapons, the "umbul-umbul", long flags, all these are prerogatives or attributes of Holiness. In front of the Temple gate put up "Penjor", long bamboo poles, decorated beautifully ornaments of young coconut leaves, rice and other products of the land. Most beautiful to see are the girls in their colorful attire, carrying offerings, arrangements of all kinds fruits and colored cakes, to the Temple. Every visitor admires the grace with which the carry their load on their heads.
Balinese Hinduism is deeply interwoven with art and ritual, and is less closely preoccupied with scripture, law, and belief than Islam in Indonesia. Balinese Hinduism lacks the traditional Hindu emphasis on cycles of rebirth and reincarnation, but instead is concerned with a myriad of hyangs, the local and ancestral spirits. As with kebatinan, these deities are thought to be capable of good or harm. Balinese place great emphasis on dramatic and aesthetically satisfying acts of ritual propitiation of these spirits at temple sites scattered throughout villages and in the countryside.
Hinduism in Bali
Rangda the witch (representing adharma, something like disorder) and Barong the protective predator (mostly like a lion) (representing dharma), in which performers fall into a trance and attempt to stab themselves with sharp knives. The dramas regularly end apparently undecided, neither side winning, because the primary purpose is to restore balance.Rituals of the life cycle are also important occasions for religious expression and artistic display. Ceremonies at puberty, marriage, and, most notably, cremation at death provide opportunities for Balinese to communicate their ideas about community, status, and the afterlife. (The tourist industry has not only supported spectacular cremation ceremonies among Balinese of modest means, but also has created a greater demand for them.)A priest is not affiliated with any temple, but acts as a spiritual leader and adviser to individual families in various villages scattered over the island. These priests are consulted when ceremonies requiring holy water are conducted. On other occasions, folk healers or curers may be hired.
Balinese Hinduism also includes the religious belief of Tabuh Rah, a religious cockfight where a rooster is used in religious custom by allowing him to fight against another rooster in the religious cockfight of the Balinese Hinduism spiritual appeasement exercise of Tabuh Rah, a form of animal sacrifice. The spilling of blood, Tabuh Rah is necessary as purification to appease the evil spirits bhuta and kala, and to insure a good harvest. Ritual fights usually take place outside the temple and follow an ancient and complex ritual as set out in the sacred lontar manuscripts.

Observed on 9 March in 2016, Nyepi is a Balinese "Day of Silence" that is commemorated every Isakawarsa (Saka new year) according to the Balinese calendar. It is a Hindu celebration mainly celebrated in Bali, [and is] a public holiday in Indonesia, [...]. Observed from 6 a.m. until 6 a.m. the next morning, Nyepi is a day reserved for self-reflection, and as such, anything that might interfere with that purpose is restricted. The main restrictions are no lighting fires (and lights must be kept low); no working; no entertainment or pleasure; no traveling; and, for some, no talking or eating at all." (Wikipedia)

A pleasure sight and a joy to film: this Barong on the street which happens with Galungan. This 10 day festival happens once in the 210 days of the Balinese calendar. Then the ancestors are believed to visit the earth.
On every street on every entrance you can see the "penjors", tall bamboo poles, decorated with flowers, coconut leaves and fruit, which makes the whole island look even more beautiful then it already is.
This Barong dance, on Bali called "ngelawang", performed by boys in every age, but always with big joy, is invited into houses making his way through the street, accompanied by staccato gamelan sounds. His presence is meant to restore the balance of good and evil.
It is expected that you give an offering to the performers, which everyone does with great pleasure.

Melasti is a Hindu Balinese purification ceremony and ritual, which according to Balinese calendar is held several days prior to the Nyepi holy day.

Bali
Bali is an island and province of Indonesia. The province includes the island of Bali and a few smaller neighbouring islands, notably Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan. It is located at the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. Its capital of Denpasar is located at the southern part of the island.
With a population of 3,890,757 in the 2010 census, and 4,225,000 as of January 2014, the island is home to most of Indonesia's Hindu minority. According to the 2010 Census, 83.5% of Bali's population adhered to Balinese Hinduism, followed by 13.4% Muslim, Christianity at 2.5%, and Buddhism 0.5%.
Bali is a popular tourist destination, which has seen a significant rise in tourists since the 1980s. It is renowned for its highly developed arts, including traditional and modern dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking, and music. The Indonesian International Film Festival is held every year in Bali.
Bali is part of the Coral Triangle, the area with the highest biodiversity of marine species. In this area alone over 500 reef building coral species can be found. For comparison, this is about 7 times as many as in the entire Caribbean. There is a wide range of dive sites with high quality reefs, all with their own specific attractions. Many sites can have strong currents and swell, so diving without a knowledgeable guide is inadvisable. Most recently, Bali was the host of the 2011 ASEAN Summit, 2013 APEC and Miss World 2013.

New Year
New Year is the time at which a new calendar year begins and the calendar's year count increments by one. Many cultures celebrate the event in some manner. The New Year of the Gregorian calendar, today mostly in use, falls on 1 January (New Year's Day), as was the case both in the old Roman calendar (at least after about 713 BCE) and in the Julian calendar that succeeded it. The order of months was January to December in the Old Roman calendar during the reign of King Numa Pompilius in about 700 BCE, according to Plutarch and Macrobius, and has been in continuous use since that time. Many countries, such as the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, the UK, and the United States, mark 1 January as a national holiday.
During the Middle Ages in western Europe, while the Julian calendar was still in use, authorities moved New Year's Day variously, depending upon locale, to one of several other days, among them: 1 March, 25 March, Easter, 1 September, and 25 December. These New Year's Day changes generally reverted to using January 1 before or during the various local adoptions of the Gregorian calendar, beginning in 1582. The change from March 25 – Lady Day, one of the four quarter days – to January 1 took place in Scotland in 1600, before the ascension of James VI of Scotland to the throne of England in 1603 and well before the formation of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707. In England and Wales (and in all British dominions, including Britain's American colonies), 1751 began on March 25 and lasted 282 days, and 1752 began on January 1. For more information about the changeover from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar and the effect on the dating of historical events etc., see Old Style and New Style dates.

Balinese Hinduism
Balinese Hinduism, (Indonesian: Hindu Dharma), is the form of Hinduism practiced by the majority of the population of Bali. This is particularly associated with the Balinese people residing on the island and represents a distinct form of Hindu worship incorporating local animism, ancestor worship or Pitru Paksha and reverence for Buddhist saints or Bodhisattava. Although the population of Indonesia is predominantly Muslim, approximately 90% of the Balinese identify as Hindu. Balinese Hindus live on the island of Bali and practice Hinduism.
History
Hinduism came to Indonesia from India in the fifth century CE. It was gradually replaced by Buddhism, which was the main religion of Sumatra and Java, until it in turn was displaced by the coming of Islam from the 14th century CE. However, due to “cultural barriers”, Bali became the only part of Indonesia to remain predominantly Hindu. Small islands off the east coast of Bali are also overwhelmingly Hindu, and there are Hindu villages scattered near the eastern shore of Java.

Bali: Joyful Barong (in the streets of Ubud) "Ngelawang" with Galungan #1 by Hans & Fifi
A pleasure sight and a joy to film: this Barong on the street which happens with Galungan. This 10 day festival happens once in the 210 days of the Balinese calendar. Then the ancestors are believed to visit the earth. On every street on every entrance you can see the "penjors", tall bamboo poles, decorated with flowers, coconut leaves and fruit, which makes the whole island look even more beautiful then it already is. This Barong dance, on Bali called "ngelawang", performed by boys in every age, but always with big joy, is invited into houses making his way through the street, accompanied by staccato gamelan sounds. His presence is meant to restore the balance of good and evil. It is expected that you give an offering to the performers, which everyone does with great pleasure. This is pa...

March 26, 2017 Melasti is a Hindu Balinese purification ceremony and ritual, which according to Balinese calendar is held several days prior to the Nyepi holy day. It is observed by Hindus in Indonesia, especially in Bali.[1] Melasti was meant as the ritual to cleanse the world from all the filth of sin and bad karma, through the symbolic act of acquiring the Tirta Amerta, "the water of life".

It might come as a surprise that the Balinese have not one calendar but two running in parallel to each other. The Agriculture Department calendar stipulates when to plant and when to spray and runs counter to the traditional calendar.
Although the system is rather complex even to the natives themselves, no Balinese in his or her right mind would dare have a ceremony without first consulting the calendar to pick an auspicious day.
The modern Balinese paper calendar now has three date systems printed on it: Gregorian, Saka (lunar calendar) and Pawukon. This three-in-one calendar also contains all sorts of information ranging from anniversary dates of various Balinese temples to occurrences of full moon and new moon as observed in the Saka system.
Saka or Sasih represents a 12-month lunar system with each month beginning on the day after a new moon or tilem, while a full moon or purnama falls right in the middle of each Sasih month. These days are considered sacred by Balinese, and temple anniversary celebrations and festivals are usually held on a purnama.
Days prior to the Sasih New Year, the whole of Bali participates in celebrations by presenting offerings and performing temple cleansing rites to appease the gods. The day of the New Year, widely known as Nyepi, is the day the entire island goes into reflection and meditation.
While many cultures in the world refer to the moon's movements as a basis for their calendar system, Bali's other calendar is believed to be unique and indigenous to the Balinese - and it's not hard to see why.
The Pawukon calendar is a rare curiosity that is probably rooted in the millennia-old rice growing cycle of the island * though some sources said it could also have originated from Java. There are six months to a Pawukon year and 35 days to a Pawukon month, totaling to 210 days in a Pawukon year.
Here's the part where it gets tricky:
Each Pawukon month is divided into 10 different weeks of different lengths running concurrently to one other. The 10 weeks comprise one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and 10 days each, with each week's name derived from its Sanskrit origin: Ekawara for the one-day week, Dwiwara for the two-day week, Triwara for the three-day week, and so on.
It just so happens that each of the days in each of the 10 different weeks also has a unique name. So any given calendar date could have up to 10 different weekday names, one for each of the 10 weeks that are going on simultaneously!
The most important weeks, however, are the three-, five- and seven-day weeks. Since 210 is a number not divisible by nine, eight or nine, extra days are then added to the weeks with four, eight and nine days * still with me?

Bali Temple Ceremony (The Hindu Balinese temple offering)
Every Temple and Shrine has a special date for it annual Ceremony, or " Odalan ", every 210 days according to Balinese calendar, including the smaller ancestral shrine which each family possesses. Because of this practically every few days a ceremony of festival of some kind takes place in some Village in Bali. There are also times when the entire island celebrated the same Holiday, such as at Galungan, Kuningan, Nyepi day, Saraswati day, Tumpek Landep day, Pagerwesi day, Tumpek Wayang day etc.
The dedication or inauguration day of a Temple is considered its birth day and celebration always takes place on the same day if the wuku or 210 day calendar is used. When new moon is used then the celebration always happens on new moon or full moon. The day of course can differ the religious celebration of a temple lasts at least one full day with some temple celebrating for three days while the celebration of Besakih temple, the Mother Temple, is never less than 7 days and most of the time it lasts for 11 days, depending on the importance of the occasion.
The celebration is very colorful. The shrine are dressed with pieces of cloths and sometimes with brocade, sailings, decorations of carved wood and sometimes painted with gold and Chinese coins, very beautifully arranged, are hung in the four corners of the shrine. In front of shrine are placed red, white or black umbrellas depending which Gods are worshipped in the shrines.
In front of important shrine one sees, besides these umbrellas soars, tridents and other weapons, the "umbul-umbul", long flags, all these are prerogatives or attributes of Holiness. In front of the Temple gate put up "Penjor", long bamboo poles, decorated beautifully ornaments of young coconut leaves, rice and other products of the land. Most beautiful to see are the girls in their colorful attire, carrying offerings, arrangements of all kinds fruits and colored cakes, to the Temple. Every visitor admires the grace with which the carry their load on their heads.
Balinese Hinduism is deeply interwoven with art and ritual, and is less closely preoccupied with scripture, law, and belief than Islam in Indonesia. Balinese Hinduism lacks the traditional Hindu emphasis on cycles of rebirth and reincarnation, but instead is concerned with a myriad of hyangs, the local and ancestral spirits. As with kebatinan, these deities are thought to be capable of good or harm. Balinese place great emphasis on dramatic and aesthetically satisfying acts of ritual propitiation of these spirits at temple sites scattered throughout villages and in the countryside.
Hinduism in Bali
Rangda the witch (representing adharma, something like disorder) and Barong the protective predator (mostly like a lion) (representing dharma), in which performers fall into a trance and attempt to stab themselves with sharp knives. The dramas regularly end apparently undecided, neither side winning, because the primary purpose is to restore balance.Rituals of the life cycle are also important occasions for religious expression and artistic display. Ceremonies at puberty, marriage, and, most notably, cremation at death provide opportunities for Balinese to communicate their ideas about community, status, and the afterlife. (The tourist industry has not only supported spectacular cremation ceremonies among Balinese of modest means, but also has created a greater demand for them.)A priest is not affiliated with any temple, but acts as a spiritual leader and adviser to individual families in various villages scattered over the island. These priests are consulted when ceremonies requiring holy water are conducted. On other occasions, folk healers or curers may be hired.
Balinese Hinduism also includes the religious belief of Tabuh Rah, a religious cockfight where a rooster is used in religious custom by allowing him to fight against another rooster in the religious cockfight of the Balinese Hinduism spiritual appeasement exercise of Tabuh Rah, a form of animal sacrifice. The spilling of blood, Tabuh Rah is necessary as purification to appease the evil spirits bhuta and kala, and to insure a good harvest. Ritual fights usually take place outside the temple and follow an ancient and complex ritual as set out in the sacred lontar manuscripts.

A pleasure sight and a joy to film: this Barong on the street which happens with Galungan. This 10 day festival happens once in the 210 days of the Balinese calendar. Then the ancestors are believed to visit the earth.
On every street on every entrance you can see the "penjors", tall bamboo poles, decorated with flowers, coconut leaves and fruit, which makes the whole island look even more beautiful then it already is.
This Barong dance, on Bali called "ngelawang", performed by boys in every age, but always with big joy, is invited into houses making his way through the street, accompanied by staccato gamelan sounds. His presence is meant to restore the balance of good and evil.
It is expected that you give an offering to the performers, which everyone does with great pleasure.
