Tumpek Landep — 14 November 2026
On Tumpek Landep, Hindu believers hang handmade offerings from vehicles and other metal objects and pray to the God of Heirlooms to sharpen their minds.
On this day devotees make offerings to objects that are made of metal. In addition to ceremonial objects, the custom extends to modern objects such as mobile phones, computers, automobiles, and bicycles.
On one of my trips to Bali, I was surprised to see employees at my hotel arriving with offerings dangling from the fronts of their cars and motor scooters.
When I inquired, an employee told me about Tumpek Landep. Moreover, he accompanied me to a nearby temple that evening, where I was able to observe the tail end of a beautiful ceremony.
Only in Bali!!!
Tumpek Landep is one of the six auspicious days on the Balinese Pawukon Calendar. In fact, it is the first day of the cycle.
These days occur when the fifth day of the five-day Balinese week falls on a Saturday. And this happens every 35 days. In fact, it takes 210 days to complete the cycle. To clarify, the Balinese Pawukon Year has 210 days.
