Abstract

Saraswati Day is a day to commemorate the descent of knowledge as a source of human intelligence. According to the Balinese calendar, Balinese people celebrate the day on Saniscara (Saturday) Wuku Watugunung, which falls every 210 days of the Balinese calendar or every six months according to the solar calendar. The high potential of public enthusiasm to commemorate Saraswati and Banyu Pinaruh days cannot be separated from the previous celebrations, which were always held in festive. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, these two days were crowded with activities from students and educators on Saraswati Day, then continued with the melukat ritual by the Balinese Hindu community at various water sources and holy places the next day in Banyu Pinaruh. The drastic shift in situation, If it is interpreted according to the purpose of Saraswati’s day itself, namely to gain wisdom, as the essence of knowledge, then the pandemic situation can be viewed as a new challenge in humankind. From the COVID-19 pandemic, humans are expected to be adaptive to their environment for the sake of mutual prosperity. Therefore, the obtained knowledge about everything that exists in this world would give a significant meaning. It would not be only a knowledge written in a book, learned, and stays on people’s heads. Nevertheless, it has become an applied science that is practiced and provides significant benefits for humankind.

Abstract

Backpackers are one of the sub-groups detached from mass tourism and seek to achieve a complete tourism experience.1 The decline in transportation costs and the growth of communication media via the internet has made backpacking trips continue to increase. Although the trend of backpacker tourism has increased over the years, their image apparently influenced the Indonesian Government’s decision, especially when Bali was preparing for tourism opening. During his visit to Bali on Friday, September 10, 2021, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan mentioned that the authorities would selectively screen foreign tourists who wish to visit Bali, and no backpacker would be allowed. Albeit Jodi Mahardi had clarified Luhut Binsar pandjaitan’s statement on September 14, 2021, then reaffirmed many times by the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economic and the Vice Governor of Bali, several foreign media still quoted Luhut’s initial statement. The uproar of Prohibiting Backpacker Tourists sounded around the globe and received backlash from expatriates and tourism actors in Bali. Backpacker tourists received a relatively negative image by some economic and tourism actors, but it does not mean that backpacker tourists do not contribute to a region’s economy. Some studies suggested that backpacker tourists contribute to small business development and promote tourism destinations to the world.

Abstract

In discussing Bali’s agricultural history development, the name of Kenderan village would occasionally appear. It is one of many villages that inherited subak tradition from ancient times. The town, located in Tegalalang district, Gianyar, has witnessed the growth of farming customs on the island of the gods. The people of the kenderan village have been an agricultural society since the megalithic period around 4500–1500 BC. It is proved by the Sarcophagus around the village and the bronze nekara printing similar to Nekara in Pejeng. These remnants signed that there was a settlement with high cultural society. Nekara was used as a drum to summon rain related to agricultural practice. Further, after Padanda Sakti Manuaba’s arrival, the society was introduced to a water reservoir system, dam, and rituals needed to support the farm’s sustainability. The community keeps the tradition and rituals as part of their identity up to the moment. Every year, through a distinctive ritual, ‘nyawang,’ they express their gratitude to God for a long, lush, fertile and prosperous life.
