Right during the two weeks I spent there, three major holly celebrations took place, among them the Balinese New year - Nyepi, the day on which all the Balines activities completely freeze. Nobody is aloud to leave the home, there are no public services (even the airport stays closed), no electricity and no contribution to the global warming, at list for a day!
On top of that, I've been lucky enough to run into a once in a 10 years holly Hindu celebration in the biggest and most sacred Balinese temple - the Bersakih temple. There were 15 most important Hindu priests that prayed for the welfare of the whole Earth, there were traditional dancings and ceremonies, there was blessing of people and gifts to the Gods and an amazing mix of colors and positive vibes! And I was one of the very few lucky foreigners to be present. Dressed in the traditional Balinese clothes, I've got access to all the temples and ceremonies, so please regard this photos as a very exclusive ones!
