Melasti
The sea is a significant element for Balinese Hindus, who believe that it is the realm where all spiritual impurities are destroyed.
Each household erects a triangular altar for offerings by the roadside, and holy objects from the temples are brought in procession to the sea to be cleansed in a special ritual.
Massive community processions gather on beaches all around the island to participate in this ritual cleansing. Guests can witness this inspiring ceremony on Sanur Beach.
