Tumpek uduh ceremoni falls on saturday 29 december 2007, Tumpek Uduh also known as Tumpek Wariga or Tumpek Pengatag devoted to Sanghyang Sangkara, Lord of all food – plants when blessing ceremony is given to them for good crops and products, held at every plantation and farm throughout the island. It is a ritual ceremony dedicated to the vegetations. On that day Balinese Hindu pray to give instruction/suggestion for the vegetation to provide a lot of food (fruits, leaves, etc). It enables the Balinese to make any preparation to hail Galungan Day that will come in a few weeks ahead. It comes once in every six months or every 210 days, suggesting the Balinese to worship God Sangkara the God of Vegetation. It?s a right time to beg the God to give His grace so the vegetation can provide a lot of crops.
