Religious Day Purnama Kaenem

Today noticed many hindus people in traditional dress and found out it is Purnama, full moon. Full moon ceremonies called purnama, are important for hindus people, who use a lunar calendar. Today is Purnama Kaenem (sixth) according to balinese calendar. At this special day is best day to perform religious ceremony. Towering offerings called sesajen, are also brought to the temple. Hindus people usually offered sesajen to the temple (ngerainin) today and tomorrow also. Because in hindus people there are two days that are purnama and pangelong (one day after purnama).
Hindus balinese believe if you bathe in water containing fragrant frangipani flowers, under the light of the full moon, you will enjoy youthfullness and good health. At
Tanah Lot Temple, there are so many balinese people doing praying from morning until nightime. They come from some area in Bali. Usually, if there are special day for Hindus people like, purnama (full moon), tilem, buda wage, anggara kasih, saraswati, siwaratri, and other, there are many hindus people doing pray at.
In the morning, sea water on segara kidul is not high so that, hindus people can praying at jeroan
Tanah Lot Temple. But start from 8 AM, sea water already high, so that hindus people just can pray at Penyawang Temple or Pengayatan Temple. Usually on purnama there are many fisherman fishing at Segara Kidul Tanah Lot. Besides fishing, fisherman usually searching sea weed. Source :
