Galungan

Today is Galungan and in twelve days it's Kuningan. This is the big time in Bali and it happens every 220 days. It's the triumph of good over evil. Here's a Galungan video card I received today from a Balinese Buddhist nun, the only one I know of. That curved decorated long bamboo pole is called a penjur and we have one in front of our house now as do many people in our neighborhood and beyond. It's to Galungan what a Christmas tree is to Christmas.
