CELEBRATION OF SARASWATI

CELEBRATION OF SARASWATI

/in

Saraswati Day in Bali, celebrated on December 16th, is a vibrant cultural occasion dedicated to the goddess of knowledge, Saraswati. On this special day, the  people of our neighbour village, including our hindu staff, engage in a unique purification ritual, immersing themselves in the ocean in front of Dajuma during the early morning hours. The sea, considered sacred, becomes a purifying medium as locals partake in prayers and offer blessings to seek wisdom and enlightenment. The rhythmic sounds of traditional ceremonies and the sight of devotees in colorful attire create a mesmerizing scene, showcasing Bali’s rich cultural tapestry. It’s a day where spirituality and natural beauty intertwine, fostering a deep connection with tradition and the divine. Happy Saraswati day!

APPLE MANGO SEASON IN BALI

APPLE MANGO SEASON IN BALI

In Bali, the apple mango season brings a burst of tropical delight typically from November to March. These mangoes, medium to large in size, exhibit a unique round to ovate shape with gently curved ends, setting them apart from regular mango varieties. The apple mangoes in Bali are known for their exquisite taste, a harmonious blend of sweetness and slight tartness, creating a memorable flavor profile.
Unlike regular mangoes, the apple mango stands out with its thinner and smoother skin, giving it a distinct texture and a light, waxy feel. The fruits weigh between 280 to 580 grams, making them ideal for both snacking and culinary creations. As the season unfolds, the vibrant markets of Bali showcase these mangoes at their peak, drawing locals and tourists alike to indulge in the tropical goodness. The apple mango season not only marks a time of abundance but also a unique opportunity to savor a variety that stands out for its taste, texture, and visual appeal.
On the picture, in a nice home made bag built from coconut palms, some apple mangoes kindly offered by our neighbours Juerg and Rina. A delice!
