Bali, which correctly called Bali Anka, meaning place of birth of people strong, in a Balinese inscription referred to in China as a draft-li P'o. It is said that the ruling P'o-li was a king of the family Kaundinya, and stated that he sent a diplomatic mission-the mission to China in the third quarter sixth century AD

Sanjaya, author inscription Cangala in Central Java (732 AD), recognized in the work of ancient Javanese-final as the leader who seized Bali, together with the territories of the other overseas. Since the eighth or ninth century AD, Buddhism traces found in that place that might come from Sumatra or Java, because maybe with a direct relationship with India.

The first inscription is dated called a king named Ugrasena (915-942), a contemporary of King Sindhok in East Java. (An earlier inscription (914 AD), refers to Adhipati Sri Kesariwarma). As stated by Prof.. Dr. George Cedes, we ketemukan of records they will be a Hindu-Bali community, is not the same as in Java, which adopted Hinduism and Buddhism together, and speak a unique dialect Bali.

In the second half of the tenth century, we have some names Warmadewa titled nobles. We get the name of a queen named Subhadrikawarmadewi. Inscription 989-1022 years mentioned the names of Udayana King and Queen Mahendradatta. This queen is a great-grandson of Sindok. This marriage, causing even more profound penetration of Javanese culture, especially Tantrism, the island of Bali. Airlangga is the cause of marriage.

Prof. Dr. F.D.K. Bosch. of the Kern Institute, has a strange story of this royal couple. When talking about a very similar equation between the development of Javanese culture and Kambudia at the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the foundation Ecole Francaise d'Extreme Orient in 1952, he said: "There is good reason to believe that I of Udayana Kambudia Warman, who reigned a relatively brief , is the same prince by the name of Udayana (Bali and Java) and has played an important role as the father of the famous Airlangga.

Around the year 970, a daughter Kambudia, together with Udayana, fled from the palace Kambudia, time periods of distress replacement king war. Tsb daughter fled to the Land of Java where a king Kambuja very famous, Jayawarman II, also has lived in exile before returning to his home Kambuja.

Java is the time that the prince Kambudia, Udayadityawarman become adults and at age 15 he married a Javanese princess. Khmer-Java fellowship is to strengthen the position of ruling in Java, Bali and now seize. Then he lifted Prince Udayana (or Udayaditya) and his bride became the governor of Bali. Around the year 1009, with the help of Udayaditya Javanese Kambudia seize the throne.

Ttapi he will not be fixed in Java for only one year alone, and he was forced to return to Bali, where he reigned as governor until the year 1022. Is in Bali that about 991 years Airlangga was born and at the crossing to Java mdua to marry a daughter of the king who reigned in East Java. Perhaps Airlangga name comes from his life story. "Airlangga" means "he who crossed the water - the strait memisahkaan Bali from Java. Airlangga, he seems, represents the government of Bali, where he was born, to a representative of the king, Dharmawamsa Marakatapankaja, whose names appear in inscriptions Bali during the year - years 1020-1025.

During the years 1049-1077, Balinese inscriptions refer to the 'wungsu child,' for example balaputra (youngest child) - probably close relatives of Airlangga. Suradhipa and Jayasakti are the names of kings who appeared in the 1115-1150 AD One hundred years later, the king Kertaanagara Singasari, after consolidating his position in Sumatra moved to Bali. In 1284 he was imprisoned king Bali. Balinese people who dare to immediately release the power of Java

"Galungan" one of the Holiday in Bali

Other Link: Computer, Bali, Tips, Download, Easy Money


Galungan is a Balinese holiday that occurs every 210 days and lasts for 10 days. Kuningan is the last day of the holiday. Galungan means "When the Dharma is winning." During this holiday the Balinese gods visit the Earth and leave on Kuningan.

Occurring once in every 210 days in the pawukon (Balinese cycle of days), Galungan marks the beginning of the most important recurring religious ceremony that is celebrated by all Balinese. 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.

Although Galungan falls on a Wednesday, most Balinese will begin their Galungan 'holiday' the day before, where the family is seen to be busily preparing offerings and cooking for the next day. While the women of the household have been busy for days before creating beautifully woven 'banten' (offerings made from young coconut fronds), the men of our village usually wake up well before dawn to join with their neighbours to slaughter a pig unlucky enough to be chosen to help celebrate this occasion. Then the finely diced pork is mashed to a pulp with a grinding stone, and moulded onto sate sticks that have been already prepared by whittling small sticks of bamboo. Chickens may also be chosen from the collection of free-range chickens that roam around the house compound. Delicate combinations of various vegetables, herbs and spices are also prepared by the men to make up a selection of 'lawar' dishes. While much of this cooking is for use in the offerings to be made at the family temple, by mid-morning, once all the cooking is done, it is time for the first of a series of satisfying feasts from what has been prepared. While the women continue to be kept busy with the preparations of the many offerings to be made at the family temple on the day of Galungan, the men also have another job to do this day, once the cooking is finished. A long bamboo pole, or 'penjor', is made to decorate the entrance to the family compound. By late Tuesday afternoon all over Bali the visitor can see these decorative poles creating a very festive atmosphere in the street.

On Wednesday, the day of Galungan, one will find that most Balinese will try to return to their own ancestral home at some stage during the day, even if they work in another part of the island. This is a very special day for families, where offerings are made to God and to the family ancestors who have come back to rest at this time in their family temple. As well as the family temple, visits are made to the village temple with offerings as well, and to the homes of other families who may have helped the family in some way over the past six months.

The day after Galungan is a time for a holiday, visiting friends, maybe taking the opportunity to head for the mountains for a picnic. Everyone is still seen to be in their 'Sunday best' as they take to the streets to enjoy the festive spirit that Galungan brings to Bali.

The date for Galungan and other special Balinese days is shown on the Balinese Calendar.
