Known as religious people, they say prayers before starting activity all the times. It is not only intended for the individual welfare, but for also the safety, peace and harmony of the inhabitants, visitors and the entire universe.

Ranging from knowledge, economic to safety aspect in their life gets special attention. Knowledge as the basic element for the enlightenment has a special celebration. It is through veneration of Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge and wisdom, through Saraswati Day. As continuation, this celebration is resumed with Banyu Pinaruh or literally means ‘the holy water of knowledge’ marked with self-purification to springs.

This month is also graced with cultural festivals such Kuta Karnival and Rice Bag War. Basically both function to preserve local traditions and indigenous wisdom. At the same time, they also serve as significant learning so that young generation can be proud of their sublime heritage. Besides, both activities offer a unique entertainment for the locals and travelers.

In addition, our fellow Muslims in Bali celebrate the Eid al-Adha on October 5, namely the festival of the sacrifice. Early in the morning, they are ready to say Eid prayers in public fields. It is resumed with the slaughter of sacrificed domestic animals. Ample portion of the meat is given to the poor and hungry so that they can also make the celebration, while the rest is cooked for the family celebration meal.
