Balinese Hindus followers to celebrate "Tumpek Landep".

January 8, 2005 is a special day set aside on the Balinese calendar to give thanks to the creation of metal goods and the specific offerings are made in the home for kitchen implements, garden tools and metallic parts of machinery, vehicles, etc that they might have. Builders generally take a day's rest today to make offerings for their work tools.
This special day for Balinese Hindu people is called "Tumpek Landep" day, devoted to Sang Hyang Pasupati, Lord of heirlooms, weapons and tools made of metal for proper function and magical power, held at every house compound and temple.
With these offerings, special prayers are said to pray to God so that these material things continue to be strong and bring good fortune upon their owners.
When the day comes, any kind of vehicles are cleaned then given a set of offerings. Therefore, it is good fortunate for those travelers who are in Bali at that time because they can visualize thousands cars, motorbikes, computers and other metal goods which are fully decorated with the offerings with ornaments made from young coconut leaves
Whereas, within the family temples where heirlooms such as krisses (wavy double-bladed daggers) and other weapons are kept, offerings are made to ensure the continued magical power of these implements.
The kris is considered a standard part of traditional Balinese dress. During a wedding ceremony the groom will wear one across his back if the family has one, and you can see them on most of the male characters in Balinese dances, operas and dramas.
