Nyepi

06:00 - 06:00 | March 19, 2026 - March 20, 2026 | Ceremony, Culture | Bali, Indonesia

Nyepi is the Balinese 'Day of Silence' marking the Saka New Year. It is a 24-hour period of total stillness—no working, traveling, lighting fires, or noise—dedicated for self-reflection, spiritual purification, and cleansing negative energy to start the new year with a pure heart. It also allows the island to rest and restore environmental balance.
