In Reply to: Saraswati Day(festival) posted by wabaligirls on Tuesday, 6. February 2007 at 11:39 Bali Time:
Hari Saraswati is the holy day for Dewi Saraswati, the goddess of learning (literature and knowledge). On this day, school children go to school and place offerings on books and on their teacher's desk. As they're not supposed to read on this day, the kids then clean the school and attend the temple. You may not notice anything different about this day while you're there. I think it's just a day for quiet reflection rather than for a festival.
