FULL MOON CELEBRATION

11 April 2023/in News

Last Wednesday, on April 5th, Dajuma and the nearby temple of Rambut Siwi held the Purnama or Full Moon Ceremony which takes place every month and is believed to purify body and soul.
The Balinese believe that during the full moon the spirits of their ancestors return to the island. They light candles and incense to guide them home and offer prayers for their blessings and guidance. The full moon ceremony in Bali is not just a religious event; it is a celebration of life and culture that is of great interest to our guests.
