major temple and family shrines around the island of Bali. On this day
Hindus make offerings to the Gods, placed on the ground at the entrance
of each housing compound. The aim is to beg God’s grace; so that one’s
dark thoughts will be illuminated by Him.
21ST APRIL -HARI KAJENG KLIWON ENYITAN

called Kajeng Kliwon Enyitan, which is believed to be a lucrative day
for spiritual activities. Kajeng Kliwon is such a sacred day that many
Balinese pay visit to holy men: shamans or priests. In so doing they
seek to acquire holy water or medication. Some prefer to go to temples
to pray, meditate or conduct ascetic practice to gain certain psychic
power. Kajeng Kliwon is often associated with anything mystical and
psychic in nature.
