In addition to the Western calendar, Bali follows both a 12-month lunar calendar and a 210-day ritual cycle. Together these two parallel calendrical systems determine the complex and busy schedule of holy days and anniversaries observed throughout the island. Every day also has associated with it numerous auspicious and malevolent forces which must be considered when selecting dates for everything from construction to cremation.
