about

Sugihan Jawa

The Sugihan Jawa ceremony is held six days before the Galungan ceremony, and its purpose is to purify the so-called big body/universe (Bhuana Agung) of evil spirits.


Purification, in this case, is understood not only spiritually but also in the physical world when temples are cleaned, courtyards are swept, and shrines and sacred objects and instruments used in ceremonies are purified.


In addition to the physical cleansing, there is also a spiritual cleansing, which involves prayers to the supreme god and the more extensive offerings, which can be seen outside the temples and homes of the Balinese.


On the second day, the Sugihan Jawa ceremony is followed by the Sugihan Bali ceremony.


The implementation of Sugihan Jawa & Bali among the Hindus of Bali may vary in its traditions from region to region.


Sugihan Jawa is celebrated once every 210 days (1 year according to the Balinese Pawukon calendar)
