Most Balinese Holidays

Usually, Balinese holidays fall on different dates depending on the cycle of the moon. In fact, the Balinese calendar systems and the Pawukon calendar can help you navigate better.

Nyepi Day

Similarly, Nyepi is dictated by the 420 day Saka Balinese calendar and also falls on a different date each year.
