Cycles & Seasons
Balinese Pawukon
210 days · ten weeks turning at once
Probably the most intricate calendar still in daily use. Ten weeks of one to ten days all run at once, and a date is your position in every one of them; the five-, six- and seven-day cycles multiply out to a 210-day round of thirty named wuku. Temple festivals fall where these cycles coincide rather than on any solar date.
