Tumpek Kandang

Tumpek Kandang is a day set aside for the distinct honouring of domestic animals. Across Bali, as Balinese Hindus observe this significant day – a ceremony dedicated to Bhatara Rare Angon, revered as the master of all cattle and livestock – household creatures will receive special recognition. These rituals are traditionally conducted at every farm and within family compounds. The very name, Tumpek Kandang, finds its origins in two Balinese words: "Tumpek," signifying a peak or culmination, and "Kandang," which denotes an enclosure or cage.
