DirectRooms.com - Hindu Holiday Draws Big Numbers to Indonesia's Seminyak Beach in Summer

    PHUKET, THAILAND, June 07, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Kuningan day holiday is celebrated at the end of the Galungan festival, one of the most significant Hindu celebrations which marks the occasion of one's ancestors entering into heaven.

Seminyak Beach is a popular place for Indonesian Hindus to spend the holiday since its pretty streets and coastal roads make ideal backdrops for Kuningan's processions and parades. Foreign tourists are also welcome to join in the celebrations and with Seminyak Beach being a popular travel destination in its own right, the town can expect to be thriving around July 16th when Kuningan takes place.

Among the other celebrations and festivities involved in Kuningan, a particular highlight is the 'penjor'. The penjor is a large bamboo stick which is placed at the front of the local Hindu temple and is used to dancing around and leaving gifts and offerings.

Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, comments: "Experiencing a traditional religious festival like the Hindu day of Kuningan is a really special thing when done somewhere like Bali. Any people thinking of travelling to Bali around the middle of July would be best advised to book Seminyak Beach hotel well ahead to avoid disappointment."
