It's 'Budha Cemeng Kelawu', Balinese calendar time, when we were held a ceremony for family temple. This ceremony held based on Bali Hinduism tradition. This ceremony called 'Odalan' or 'Piodalan'. The main purpose of this ceremony is to sanctify the family temple. We bring some offerings for the gods.
About the family temple it self, in Bali, all the Hindu family has their own family temple located on a holy place of their house yard. The common temple consist of some 'pelinggih' such as 'Kemulan', 'Taksu', 'Piyasan' and 'Tugu'. Another temple maybe consist of more than thoose buildings.
To pray in the family temple feels like we are come to our beloved ancestry back. As the heredirarity of ancestos, it is a must that we have to show our faith to them by held a ceremony like 'Piodalan'.
