PANCAWARA · THE FIVE-DAY WEEK
Find your day
Enter your date of birth. We will find your day in the Balinese five-day week, with its direction, color and deity, and your next otonan, the Balinese birthday that comes every 210 days.
Five days, five energies
Each day of the Pancawara week has a direction, a color and a deity. These pairings follow a common Balinese tradition; local practice varies.
HOW IT WORKS
A week of five days, running for centuries.
Bali keeps several weeks at once inside the 210-day Pawukon calendar. The five-day Pancawara simply repeats, so any date can be traced back. Galungan always falls on a Kliwon, and 13 January 2027 is one.
Pawukon dates are calculated. For ceremonies, a Balinese priest or a specialist in wariga will know more than any list.
