UBUD CULTURAL AND RELIGION
Since there are so many other accounts of Balinese Hinduism available in guide-books and other literature, we will spare you yet another one.
Suffice to say, Balinese Hinduism permeates Ubud life as it has for eons.
Some observers in fact, have noted a resurgence of religious activity, both in terms of outward devotional practice, and the more introspective, philosophical aspects of religiosity. Ubud is noted as one of the more traditional towns in terms of maintaining the tenets and manifold observances of Agama Hindu Bali.

Everywhere you look, every single day, you will see ceremony, ritual and sacred offerings. All of this is carried out in Ubud with a level of devout attention and meticulous care that is rarely exceeded elsewhere.
This applies equally to the young generation as it does to their parents and grandparents. To witness (or participate in) the enactment of religious tradition, visit a temple during a holy day or on its anniversary, called and odalan. Your hotel, guest house, or the Balinese friends you make can tell you when and where an opportunity might arise.
Consult the Bali Calendar to check dates of major festivals. You can't go more than a few meters in Ubud without seeing one hanging on someone's wall. Or let Balinese friends and acquaintances know you would be interested to attend a life-transition ritual (three-month birthday of a baby, tooth filing, wedding, cremation, etc.).
Chances are, if you stay more than a few days you will have the opportunity to witness such an event. The main temples in Ubud are the location for a tremendous variety of festivals, special prayers and observances of particular holydays.
