The Islamic New Year, or “Tarun Baru Hijriyah” as it’s also known, celebrates the founding of Islam and the migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca, signifying its holy symbolism to devour followers of the religion. While traditions vary from country to country, in Indonesia, there are many parades and processions of sacred animals that onlookers believe to bring good fortune. Some areas also perform a torch parade known as an “Obor” parade, consisting of communal prayer and traditional Islamic music and dance. Visitors and guests looking for a Bali cliff hotel may catch sight of, and even participate in such traditions, as the tradition invites Muslims from all walks of life to celebrate alongside their peers. As such, many luxury properties, such as the Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort prepare to welcome guests from all over the world as well as within the country to celebrate this holy occasion.
