Galungan and Kuningan stand for celebrating the earth. It is on this very day when the Hindu devotees offer their gratitude to the creators for all their earthly possessions and for his blessings and love as well.
It begins with "Wrespathi Wage Sungsang". Legend says this is when the ancestors come to meet humans on earth along with the Gods. Flowers are offered on the family altar in each house to mark the occasion. Following this we have "Sukra Keliwon Sungsang", a day when purification of the human body, mind and soul happens through prayers and holy words. The next day we celebrate "Saniscara Umanis Sungsang", a day when mental patience and peace is tested as an act of faith and devotion.
