Bali is said to be a steaming island of Indonesia according to New York Times Travel. Rollicking by nature, Bali lures the backpacker or the traveller who likes absolutely nothing better than a plush relaxation against backdrops that are paradisiacal. The sunsets are picture perfect, and the care free island life is ever more present in this island that captivates millions. Bali is famous for its beaches, and many sun bronzed bodies can be seen frolicking in the surf.
Known to be an island with a thousand temples, one would immediately notice the many small shrines and temples that mushroom out of the many nooks, corners and central parts of the island. When attending temple festivals in Bali there are few things one must keep in mind when attending. Apart from dressing conservatively, there are other few considerations one must remember when travelling to this exotic corner of the world.
Those who are in a state of mourning (42 days after a death), menstruating and have open woods should not attend. It is recommended to always wear a sarong or wrap with a sash when attending a temple. It is considered disrespectful to walk in front of someone who is prayer at a temple. When taking pictures do not directly point or use flash in a face of a priest. One should also make it a point to not sit in a higher position to the priest or offerings.
The deep faith the locals have in their tradition and practices will instill a sense of calmness and tranquility within you. The most famous festivals in Bali include the Galugan Festival, Nyepi Festival, Kuningan, Saraswati and Pagerwesi Festivals.
