✨ 5 Cultural Things To Do in Ubud, Bali
When you come to Ubud, you don’t just visit — you feel it.
Here, culture is alive in temples, streets, offerings, and quiet gestures of devotion.
1️⃣ Receive a Water Blessing
Cleanse mind and spirit at Tirta Empul Water Temple or Sebatu Holy Spring — a sacred ritual that’s been done for centuries.
2️⃣ Watch a Ceremonial Parade
Catch a glimpse of tradition on Ubud’s main street during Galungan & Kuningan, or the vibrant Ogoh-ogoh parade before Nyepi.
3️⃣ Experience a Sacred Dance
Feel the power of Bali’s secret stories through dances like the Kecak or graceful Pendet — fire, trance, and blessings in movement.
4️⃣ Make a Canang Sari
Sit with the banjar ladies and learn to weave your own canang sari — daily flower offerings that keep balance between seen and unseen.
5️⃣ Explore Classical Balinese Art
Step into a timeless world at ARMA Museum, Museum Puri Lukisan, or hidden galleries where Bali’s rich painting tradition lives on.
