Tomorrow marks the start of the Galungan holiday period. Many businesses will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday and reopen on Friday.
During the Galungan period the deified ancestors of the family descend to their former homes. They must be suitably entertained and welcomed, and prayers and offerings must be made for them. Those families who have ancestors that have not yet been cremated, but are still buried in the village cemetery, must make offerings at the graves.
