TUMPEK LANDEP ( 6 )

Tumpek Wariga and Tumpek Kandang

In addition to Tumpek Landep, the Balinese also celebrate a special day for trees known as Tumpek Wariga and a day for live-stock known as Tumpek Kandang, of which both fall at different times every six months (210 days) during the Balinese lunar calendar. On the auspicious day for trees, offerings are made to fruit trees, palm trees, and gardens, while on the auspicious day for live-stock, offerings are given to chickens, pigs, and other live-stock. While the aim of the ceremonies on Tumpek Landep is for the well being and productive use of technological products, the aim in celebrating the auspicious days for plants and live-stock is to ensure the growth of flora and fauna, so they can be successfully cultivated for the prosperity of humanity. These two celebrations are less likely to be observed as they are held in family compounds and farms. The celebration of Tumpek Landep is more visible as cars on the street are decorated with the aforementioned sampian and lamak.
