about

Tumpek Uduh

The ceremony on the day of Tumpek Uduh is held to worship God Dewa Sangkara (Sanghyang Sangkara), the ruler of plants, as an expression of gratitude for their fertility to grow well and bear abundant fruits and flowers.


Tumpek Uduh is a manifestation of the Balinese Hindu philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, the three causes of well-being, namely harmony with God, harmony among people, and harmony with nature and the environment, and therefore on the day of Tumpek Uduh Balinese Hindus are not allowed to cut down trees and refrain from picking fruit, flowers, and leaves.


During the ceremony, offerings are laid on the trees; some even pour rice porridge on the trees. The ceremony is a reminder of the importance of plants and vegetation not only as a source of food but also as a source of economic income (sale of rice, fruits, and vegetables).


Tumpek Uduh is celebrated once every 210 days (1 year according to the Balinese calendar Pawukon).


Other names: Tumpek Wariga, Tumpek Bubuh, Tumpek Pengatag
