Your day in the 210-day cycle

Date only. All ten cycles count whole days, so no time and no place changes the answer.

The three weeks that do not fit

210 is 2 × 3 × 5 × 7, so the one, two, three, five, six, seven and ten-day weeks all close cleanly. The four, eight and nine-day weeks do not, and this is where the calendar gets interesting: rather than drop them or let them drift, the tradition holds a day.

• · Caturwara needs two extra days over 210, so Jaya is held for three days in the week that would have ended on day 72.
• · Astawara needs two as well, and holds Kala across the same three days.
• · Sangawara needs three, and holds Dangu for the first four days of the whole cycle.

That is the part a calculator gets wrong, and it is checkable: get a repeat wrong by one day and the cycle stops closing at 210, so the week comes back in the wrong place next time round. Ours is tested by walking all 210 days and confirming every cycle returns to its first member and no member is ever skipped.

Anchor

Day 1 of the cycle is 5 April 2026. Derived from Galungan, Buda Kliwon Dungulan and the 74th day of the cycle, which fell on Wednesday 17 June 2026. The cycle has never been reset, so every other date follows

The repeats

Caturwara and Astawara repeat their penultimate day twice in the week that would have ended on day 72; Sangawara repeats its first day three times at the start. Without those the 4, 8 and 9-day weeks would not close at 210

Ekawara

Ekawara has one member, Luang, and it is counted here on the days the Dwiwara is Pepet. Almanacs differ on which half of the Dwiwara it pairs with, so this is a stated convention rather than a computed fact

Not computed

The Saka lunar calendar that runs alongside this one and fixes Nyepi, and the ceremonial meaning of individual day combinations, which is a priest's work rather than a table's

The thirty wuku

The 210 days divide into thirty named weeks of seven, the wuku, and they are the part Balinese people navigate by. Dungulan holds Galungan, Kuningan holds the day named after it, and Watugunung closes the cycle with Saraswati, the day for books and learning, which is followed four days later by Pagerwesi, the iron fence.

Two combinations recur often enough to organise ordinary life around. Kajeng Kliwon, the three-day Kajeng meeting the five-day Kliwon, comes every fifteen days and is treated as a night when the unseen is close. Tumpek, Saniscara meeting Kliwon, comes every thirty-five, and each of the six in a cycle blesses a different class of thing: tools, plants, animals, gamelan, shadow puppets, the body itself.
