About this experience

The event takes place at local temples and the beachfront, where visitors observe rituals and performances rooted in Hindu Balinese traditions. It offers a direct encounter with the community's living heritage, away from the island's main tourist hubs.

Witness a traditional Balinese temple ceremony, including the offering of flowers, incense, and food by local villagers.
Watch a kecak fire dance performance at sunset, with a chorus of 50 male performers chanting in rhythmic patterns.
Join a guided procession from the village to the beach, where effigies are purified in the sea water.
Sample ceremonial snacks and sweet rice cakes sold by local vendors along the festival route.
Listen to gamelan orchestras playing bronze percussion instruments during the main afternoon session, which lasts about two hours.
