In English

Saraswati day is the advent of knowledge according to Balinese Hindu belief. This holy day falls every six months on Saturday Umanis Watugunung. Umanis is a name for a five-day week in Balinese traditional calendar, and Watugunung is a name of week, repeated every 30 weeks. Commonly, the Balinese people offer yellow rice, flowers and special cakes made of wheat flour called jaja saraswati ‘the Saraswati cake’. Jaja saraswati is round, adorned with a small figurine of a white house lizard. In Balinese belief, a house lizard connects human beings with the gods. If a house lizard chirps after somebody has said something, it means that what one has just said is true.

In the morning, students come to school to pray. Wearing Balinese traditional clothes, they pray to Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge. At homes, family members collect their books and offer canang sari, cakes and fruits.

In Indonesian

Hari Saraswati adalah hari turunnya ilmu pengetahuan menurut kepercayaan masyarakat Hindu Bali. Hari suci ini jatuh pada hari Sabtu Umanis Watugunung, setiap enam bulan sekali. Umanis adalah nama salah satu hari pasaran Bali, dan Watugunung adalah nama salah satu dari 30 minggu yang berulang tiap enam bulan. Biasanya, masyarakat Bali mempersembahkan nasi kuning, bunga-bunga dan kue khas dari tepung terigu yang disebut jaja saraswati. Jaja saraswati berbentuk bundar dengan figure seekor cicak berwarna putih. Dalam kepercayaan masyarakat Bali, cicak menghubungkan manusia dengan para dewa. Apabila cicak bersuara setelah seseorang berkata sesuatu, maka itu pertanda perkataannya benar.

Pagi hari, siswa datang ke sekolah dengan berpakaian adat, lalu bersembahyang bersama-sama, memuja Dewi Saraswati, dewi ilmu pengetahuan. Di rumah, anggota keluarga mengumpulkan buku-buku mereka dan menghormatinya dengan mempersembahkan canang sari, jajan dan buah-buahan.
