Bali Ritual


Tumpek Kandang.

Balinese Hindu has a ceremony called Tumpek Uye or Tumpek Kandang.The ceremony is intended to give thanks to God for creating animals,which can be eaten for food.This ceremony will take place at every farm and family compound.This ritual is dedicated to Sang Hyang Rare Anggon,master of all cattle and livestock.
Tumpek Kandang,also pronounced as Tumpek Andang,falls every Saturday of Uye,which occurs every 210 days in Balinese Calendar System.The name Tumpek Knadang is derived from two words-Tumpek means Saturday and Kandang refers to the balinse word for domesticated animal that Balinese highly honor.Those include cows,pigs,Chicken,duck,dogs,and birds.

On this special day,farm animals in Bali also get very special attention;the cows are washed in the river and dressed-up like human beings,with special cone-shaped coconut leaves placed on their horns.The pigs are decorated,with their bellies wrapped white or yellow cloth.The farm animals are fed with delicious food.
This ritual is certainly not an animal worship ritual,The Bainese consider these animals as friend of life and fellow brother created by Gods as liveng creatures.Human life is much assisted by animal,especially in satisfying the needs for food,labor force,religious ceremonies and for in come.For the sake of preservation and prosperity of such animals,the Balinese plead to the gods for the animals well being
