Odalan ( Temple Ceremony )

adminBali EventsNo Comments

Odalan BaliBali is known as an island with a thousand temples. It is easy to find a temple ceremony everywhere at anytime. One of the ceremonies is called Odalan.

Odalan is a celebration of the first day when the temple was built. Some odalan ceremonies are short, lasting from 1 to 3 days only, while others can last for up to a month.

After the main religious ritual is finished, odalan becomes more a social occasion, with dance, music, drama, comedy and shadow puppet plays.

Since Bali has its calendar system for religious purposes, which cycle 210 day, and each temple celebrates their odalan every 210 days, it’s no wonder that it’s possible for one to see an odalan ceremony every day somewhere around Bali.
