What is Nyepi?

Indonesia Nyepi Festival

Nyepi is a Balinese “Day of Silence” that is observed annually in Indonesia. It is a Hindu celebration marking the new year in the Balinese calendar. The word “Nyepi” itself means “to keep silent” in the Balinese language. The day is intended for self-reflection, meditation, and to bring about a sense of spiritual renewal.

Nyepi is characterized by a day of complete silence and inactivity. Many Balinese Hindus observe this day by refraining from work, entertainment, travel, and even turning off lights and making minimal noise. The idea behind Nyepi is to have a day of introspection, where individuals reflect on their past actions and make resolutions for the coming year.

Night of Pengerupukan

Before Nyepi, there are elaborate rituals and processions, including the famous “Ogoh-ogoh” parade, where large and sometimes frightening effigies are paraded through the streets to symbolize negative elements being driven away.

In Bali, people primarily celebrate Nyepi, and Hinduism is the predominant religion. The date of Nyepi varies each year according to the Balinese calendar.
