Tumpek Wayang
8 May 2027. Island-wide
Falling on Saniscara Kliwon Wayang every 210 days, Tumpek Wayang honours Dewa Iswara as patron of puppetry, theatre and the performing arts. Dalang (shadow-puppet masters) take their leather wayang kulit puppets, sacred masks (tapel) and gender wayang instruments from their chests to bless them with offerings, and families perform protective sapuh leger puppet ceremonies.
