Hello Residents
Let me share about BALINESE CULTURE
Rahajeng rahine tumpek landep
Bali is an island that has a thousand temples, traditions and cultures
that complement each other and complement the teachings of Hinduism.
For Balinese, who are predominantly Hindu, there is a tradition called
Tumpek Landep. Tumpek landep is a festival of worship to (Ida Bhatara
Sang Hyang Shiva Pasupati) as the god of taksu. Tumpek Landep itself
is a series after the Saraswati holiday, where on this day Hindus give
thanks for the blessings that have been given by (Ida Sang Hyang Widhi
Wasa) in its manifestation as (Ida Bhatara Sang Hyang Pasupati).
Meaning of Tumpek Landep
Tumpek Landep falls every Saniscara/Kliwon Wuku Landep Saturday, so
according to the Balinese calendar, this holiday is celebrated every
210 days. The word Tumpek itself comes from "Metu" which means
meeting, and "Mpek" which means end, so Tumpek is the day of the
meeting of the Panca Wara and Sapta Wara warrants, where Panca Wara is
ended by Kliwon and Sapta Wara is endek by Saniscara (Saturday). While
Landep itself means sharp or pointed, so from this, some heirlooms
that have sharp properties such as keris are also celebrated.
