When is Galungan and Kuningan Day in 2025? Save the Dates

For the entire Hindu community in Indonesia, especially on the island of Bali, Galungan and Kuningan Day are two highly sacred and anticipated religious moments. These celebrations are a form of gratitude and spiritual celebration for the victory of Dharma (truth) over Adharma (evil) within humans. The calendar system for these celebrations is based on the Balinese calendar, which follows a 210-day cycle. Due to this cycle, Galungan and Kuningan are always celebrated twice within one Gregorian calendar year, with a 10-day difference between them. According to buleleng.bulelengkab.go.id, Galungan, as a day of initiation and victory, always falls on a Wednesday in the wuku Dungulan, while Kuningan, as a day of closure and purification, falls on a Saturday in the wuku Kuningan. As we approach the end of the year 2025, the series of celebrations will soon arrive. This moment is a calling for Hindus to cleanse themselves and prepare offerings as a form of gratitude for the blessings and protection from Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wasa.
