Bali's Hindu Lunar New Year is Nyepi (silence for one day) and celebrated March April (date is dependant on the moon cycles, similar to our Easter).
Galungan and Kuningan, 10 days later, is celebrated every 210 days.
Hindus attend many temple ceremonies throughout this time. There are many prayers and offereings made to deceased relatives, already cremated or still buried.
