Tumpek Kandang – July 12, 2025, across Bali

Tumpek Kandang, held on July 12 across Bali, is a beautiful day of gratitude toward the animals that share life with the Balinese people. On this day, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, and even pets receive blessings and offerings in homes, farms, and temples throughout the island. It’s a day where Balinese Hindus show respect to the animals they care for and depend on, giving them blessings and small treats to honor their role in daily life.

You won’t find big processions or festivals, but you will notice a gentle shift across the island as temples and homes prepare offerings for the animals. It’s a quiet but beautiful reminder of the connection between people and nature here, reflecting the philosophy of harmony that underpins daily life in Bali.
