Did you honor your hammer today?

Today is Tumpek Landep, the day when the Balinese give thanks to Sang Hyang Pasupeti, Lord of the Heirlooms, for the creation of metal goods. Offerings are made for kitchen implements, garden tools and machines. Builders take the day off to make offerings for their tools. Car washers have the busiest day of the year as all Balinese bring their vehicles in to get pampered and prettied up with bamboo ornaments and offerings.
