Wara is name of the day in Bali calendar. There are 10 groups of wara and each wara contain from only 1 day to 10 days. Length of one cycle depends on how many days in a group, e.g. Panca Wara contains 5 days as literally, the meaning of panca is 5 and wara is day. First day is Umanis, followed by Pahing, Pon, Wage and the last one is Kliwon. We call this 1 cycle. The second cycle back/start again from Umanis and to Kliwon, and so on etc.
