November 19 2011 ,the balinesse peple celebrate Saraswati day, Saraswati day itself is celebrated by bringing offerings to their holy books and scrolls in their houses, while students celebrate it at school, usually in the morning, and the office-workers in their office. The philosophy of Saraswati day is that the most important thing for human life is knowledge.
November 20 2011, Banyu Pinaruh, The day after Saraswati Day is Banyu Pinaruh day. "Banyu" means water and "Pinaruh" mean wisdom. In other words, we must have wisdom which always flows like water and which is useful for human kind. We pray for Dewi Saraswati (manifestation of God) to give us cleverness and wisdom. The people usually take a bath in the sea or a lake or river and drink traditional medicine which is made from many various leaves which is very good for our health. The philosophy of Banyu Pinaruh day is the second most important thing for human life is good health.
This time I celebrate the feast "banyu pinaruh" at Tirta Empul, located in the sub-district Ubud ,district of Gianyar, Bali. At this celebration many people who come to these springs to melukat (cleaned up).
because it is very crowded at all, many are not so for melukat. but many others are patiently waiting their turn to get into the shower at Tirta Empul. on the way home I saw a lot of private villas in this area.
