On special days like Galungan, Kuningan and the day after Nyepi people from all villages in the area flock to the beach. Galungan is celebrated every year after the Balinese calendar, and the time is therefore different from year to year. This is the most important ritual on Bali and a celebration of the Gods victory over evil. The 10 Galungan days ends with the Kuningan day. Nyepi marks the start of the new year, and is a day of complete silence.
