Why Bali is Truly the Island of Gods?

With over 10,000 temples scattered across the island (yes, it’s hard to count them all!), Bali feels like a living, breathing spiritual sanctuary. Each temple, from family shrines to grand sea temples, holds its own Odalan – a special festival celebrated every 210 days based on the ancient Balinese Pawukon calendar. 🕉✨

Odalan isn’t just about prayers; it’s a feast for the senses! Picture vibrant processions, intricate offerings, sacred dances, and women gracefully balancing towering offerings on their heads. These festivities often align with the full moon, bringing a magical glow to the island’s spirit.

Fun fact: With so many temples, Bali practically hosts a festival every single day! You’re never far from the rich traditions and lively celebrations that make this island so unique.

Have you ever experienced an Odalan? Let us know your favorite part! 💛👇
