Calendar

Most ceremonies in this corpus do not fall on a fixed Gregorian date. This calendar therefore does not force a date: it states how the timing of each is determined, and declines to display an estimate where the determination cannot be computed.

Filter by how the timing is determined

February

By observation

Bau Nyale

February, the 20th day of the tenth Sasak month

Fixed from lunar observation and confirmed by the appearance of the nyale; the official announcement issues some weeks beforehand.

Pantai Seger, Lombok Tengah

Bau Nyale Sasak

By observation

Pasola

February and March, after the nyale appear

Determined separately by the rato of each district, so dates differ between Kodi, Lamboya and Wanukaka.

Sumba Barat & Sumba Barat Daya

Pasola Sumbanese

Fixed by an institution 4 occasions

By an office-holder 4 occasions
Determined by a customary office-holder on grounds not computable from outside. Indonesiana does not estimate the date.
