Saturday, Jan. 12
I go out at 8 a.m. see the ceremony this morning for Saraswati, the
goddess of art, music and education. It’s at the local elementary school here
in Pengosegan. Every school in Bali has a stature of this patron deity of
schools and learning.

| Saraswati |

| Books are blessed |
The kids are lovely in their ceremonial attire. They do several dances
from youngest group to oldest, then they all pray together. Very touching and sweet.
I’ll let the photos tell it all.

| Youngest boys do a warrior dance |
 |
| Oldest girls make offerings during a dance |
 |
| Restless, waiting for next event |
 |
Waiting their turn to dance
Not sure what they see, but they are definitely dubious!
Prayers
Water blessings after the prayers
