Festivals Prior to Galungan - Penyekeban
Sunday - Dec 14, 2014
Balinese are excited to celebrate the series of Galungan festival. There are three processions prior to Galungan; which are known as Penyekeban, Penyajahan, and Penampahan. Every event has its value and uniqueness.
Penyekeban
Three days before Galungan, families initiate their preparation for Galungan; and it is called asPenyekeban. The word Penyekeban means the day to cover up, for on that day green bananas are covered up in huge clay pots to speed their ripening. Banana is valued as unselfish plantation because its shoot bear fruit for all kinds. Philosophically, Penyekeban means to diminish selfishness. They believe that unselfishness will be closer to Hyang Widhi Wasa.
