Hari Saraswati — the Day of the Goddess of Learning — falls every 210 days on Saniscara Umanis Watugunung, the last day of the Balinese Pawukon cycle. It is a day dedicated to Dewi Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge, art, music, and wisdom, who in Balinese cosmology is also the goddess of holy books and lontar palm-leaf manuscripts. On Saraswati day, all books, lontar manuscripts, and written texts — from school textbooks to ancient sacred scripts in temple libraries — are removed from shelves, wrapped in ritual cloth, and placed on offering pedestals with flowers, incense, and prayers. Students, teachers, scholars, and artists gather at schools and universities to give thanks for the knowledge they have received. Saraswati marks the beginning of a three-day ceremonial sequence. The following day, Banyupinaruh, is considered auspicious for bathing in the sea at dawn. The day after is Soma Ribek, a ceremony honouring the earth's produce, and the day after that is Sabuh Mas, blessing tools and instruments.
