Saraswati Day is one of the important celebrations for Hindus in Bali, celebrated every six months according to the Hindu calendar. This year, the celebration was on July 13. For Hindus, Saraswati Day is believed to be the day when knowledge is bestowed.


During this Saraswati Day celebration, EBPP students engaged in various spiritual activities: created canang (offerings) from coconut leaves filled with various flowers as a symbol of sacred offerings, crafted a penjor, bamboo pole decorated with various adornments, and prepared other necessities for the ceremony.



As their teacher, I am very proud of what they have accomplished through cooperation and togetherness and I hope it will have a positive impact on the surrounding environment.


This celebration not only teaches them about the importance of knowledge and spirituality but also about the value of togetherness and responsibility. Hopefully, this spirit will continue to grow and develop among them, bringing benefits to the surrounding community.
