Nyepi/Day of Silence

Nyepi/Day of Silence
To mark the Balinese Hindu New Year, the Balinese celebrate an annual ‘Day of Silence’ known as Nyepi. It is a wonderful time to visit the island, especially for guests who are interested in the unique traditions that underpin Balinese Hinduism. A spectacular procedure of ceremonies, parades of great bamboo monsters, and fireworks occur on the Eve of Nyepi, followed by a day of total silence and seclusion when the Balinese will pray and meditate to cleanse the island of evil spirits. For more information on Nyepi activities, please contact fb.reservation.bali@ayana.com

People/Religion

The Balinese are one of over 300 ethnic groups in Indonesia. The majority of the population adheres to Agama Tirtha, which translates to the religion of the holy water.
