Balinese Calendar System

Balinese Calendar System is different than another calendar system. Most people know of two kinds of calendar system: the Solar System and the Lunar System. The Solar system , mostly used internationally, is based on how many days the earth rotates around the sun ; so one year has an average 365 days. The Lunar System ( used in some Asian countries, is based on the time taken by the moon to rotate around the Earth ; which is 29 days + 12 hours + 44 minutes so that equation times 12 equals 1 year for the lunar system.

Bali uses yet another calendar system.

Bali uses the wuku System ( based on the week . There are 30 weeks in one cycle (Balinese : oton)and two Otons in one year, so one Oton means 210 days and one year in the Balinese Calendar System is two Otons or 420 days).

The Balinese Calendar system is used mainly for religious purposes such as : to know the auspicious days for farming & raising animals, starting a Bussiness, determining the dates of temple ceremonies, and making birthday ceremonies (otonan) and others.(ruslan)

Ubud Story

Ubud, when we tell the story of Ubud, we can't forget to mention the Campuhan river. The foreign artist, such as Antonio Blanco, Rudolf Bonnet and Arie Smith, for instance, were so inspired by this river , that it's one of the main reasons for them making Ubud their home.According to the lontar, which are dried, pressed and blessed palm leaves, tied together to make a small vertical book  on which the ancient Hindu teachings are written ).

 Ubud area was "founded" by Rsi Markandya, the Hindu Priest from java, who was making spiritual journey to Bali. When he arrived at a jungle area ( which now has became known as Ubud ), he felt an aura of holiness in this area. So he settled up in this place.

" Markandya Purana ", one of the Hindu mythological books, said that the word Ubud words comes from wos, the name of a river in the area. This river has a meeting point with another river next to Pura Gunung Lebah, in Champuan village. The root word of wos is usadi or usada, which means obat or Ubad to have a healing power since many sick people get well after they bathe in this river.
Nowadays, the word ubad is pronounced as Ubud to name the area.
