This silence is supposed to convince demons that the island is deserted, so that they will not come back to disturb its inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having spent Nyepi on Nusa Penida several times, I can tell you the silence here is total \u2014 no engines, no music, no lights, just the stars overhead. It is, without a doubt, the most powerful and moving day of the year on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-what-happens-during-nyepi-in-bali\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens during Nyepi in Bali?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During Nyepi, the entire island of Bali shuts down, and people are not allowed to leave their homes, hotels, or villas. All businesses are closed, and no lights, music, or noise is allowed. Even the airport is closed for the day. But public services, such as hospitals and fire departments, remain open for emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pecalang, traditional security officers, patrol the streets to ensure the peace and serenity of Nyepi is maintained. There is therefore no light or sound pollution, which means ideal conditions to meditate and watch the stars! But you need to book the right hotel or resort that will offer you food and drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nyepi is preceded by&nbsp;<strong>Melasti,<\/strong> which is celebrated throughout the whole island of Bali. It corresponds to the great purification. On this occasion, the Balinese go to the sea or to a natural water source to purify their bodies and their sacred objects. But the day before Nyepi, the main road junctions receive large offerings supposed to exorcise evil spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-4407 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/nyepi-2024-ogoh-ogoh-denpasar-bali.jpg\" alt=\"Nyepi Ogoh-Ogoh parade Denpasar Bali\" class=\"wp-image-4407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/nyepi-2024-ogoh-ogoh-denpasar-bali.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/nyepi-2024-ogoh-ogoh-denpasar-bali-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/nyepi-2024-ogoh-ogoh-denpasar-bali-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/nyepi-2024-ogoh-ogoh-denpasar-bali-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ogoh-Ogoh parade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-the-ogoh-ogoh-parade\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ogoh-Ogoh parade<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the Ogoh-Ogoh festival?<\/strong> The day before Nyepi, known as Ngrupuk, people take to the streets to make noise to ward off evil spirits. Tourists can enjoy watching the Balinese people parade around with handmade floats depicting demons and evil spirits called ogoh-ogoh.

During Nyepi Day, which falls on Monday, March 8, 2027, PLN electricity will be limited to powering refrigerators, water heaters, medical equipment, and lighting for sick residents, those with babies aged 6 months and under, and Yadnya ceremonies (for essential lighting only). There should also be no boat from or to Nusa Penida on the afternoon of Sunday, March 7 (the day before). To know more, you can read about the <a href=\"https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/culture-and-history-of-nusa-penida\/\">history of Nyepi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the tourists, it means that everywhere in the Nusa Penida islands, everything will be closed (shops, transport, restaurants, etc.). There will be no electricity and no internet. No fires are allowed. You are not allowed to go out on the streets. So the best is to take some time to enjoy the stars during the night (no light pollution) and the serenity, and to meditate. But also to be prepared by stocking up on water and food the day before Nyepi. Or to choose the proper hotel and resort, preferably with a pool, that will provide you with food and drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Nyepi 2027 and Nyepi 2028 in Bali are on:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nyepi 2027: Monday, March 8, 2027<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nyepi 2028: February 26, 2028<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-nyepi-segara-in-nusa-penida-nyepi-laut\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nyepi Segara in Nusa Penida (Nyepi Laut)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maritime version of the Nyepi silence day is called Nyepi Laut or Nyepi Segara, which is practiced only on the 3 islands of Nusa Penida. That day, there is no maritime activity on Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan. No boat to join or leave the islands, no boat between the islands, no scuba diving, no snorkeling. And no activity involving the sea, like swimming or walking on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of this day is to honor and appease Dewa Baruna, the ruler of the seas and oceans. This ritual practice started in the 17th century, under the reign of Dalem Waturenggong in the Klungkung regency. The ritual practice of this day includes meditation and silent contemplation on the importance of the aquatic environment. That is why it is better that day to wear a sarong to cover one&#8217;s legs and a modest shirt or blouse to cover one&#8217;s shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nyepi Segara (Nyepi Laut) takes place on the fourth full moon of the Balinese calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Upcoming Nyepi Laut dates in Nusa Penida:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>September 26, 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>September 15, 2027<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-ngaben-cremation-ceremony\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ngaben (cremation ceremony)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ngaben, the traditional Balinese cremation ceremony, is a sacred Hindu ritual that honors the deceased and guides their soul to the afterlife. It is a vibrant and elaborate event, reflecting the Balinese belief in reincarnation and the cyclical nature of life. The ceremony involves a series of intricate rituals, including prayers, offerings, and the construction of an ornate cremation tower (bade). Or a sacred bull-shaped sarcophagus (lembu).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ngaben-cremation-ceremony-bali.jpg\" alt=\"ngaben cremation ceremony bali\" class=\"wp-image-4885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ngaben-cremation-ceremony-bali.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ngaben-cremation-ceremony-bali-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ngaben-cremation-ceremony-bali-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ngaben<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Family members, dressed in ceremonial attire, accompany the procession to the cremation site, where priests perform blessings before the body is set aflame. Unlike mourning customs in many cultures, Ngaben is a joyous occasion, as it is seen as liberating the soul from earthly attachments, allowing it to continue its spiritual journey. The grandeur of the ceremony varies depending on the family&#8217;s status, with royal and noble families often hosting large, elaborate processions. However, in some cases, communal Ngaben ceremonies are held to accommodate families who cannot afford an individual cremation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ngaben-cremation-ceremony-bali-upacara.jpg\" alt=\"ngaben cremation ceremony bali upacara\" class=\"wp-image-4888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ngaben-cremation-ceremony-bali-upacara.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ngaben-cremation-ceremony-bali-upacara-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nusapenida.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ngaben-cremation-ceremony-bali-upacara-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ngaben cremation procession<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-independence-day-of-indonesia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Independence day of Indonesia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On August 17, Indonesians celebrate independence by holding flag-raising ceremonies at schools and offices.
