“Nyepi” Bali’s New Year's Day of Complete Silence. Which takes place annually on the New Year's Day of the island's lunar calendar. A day to cleanse the island from the previous year’s misdoings and bad omens, establishing a pure and positive year ahead. The whole island shuts down for a full 24 hours, and the streets are off limits to everyone. All shops, schools, banks and other institutions are closed and the lights are off. #nyepi #balinewyear #silentday #nyepiday #baliindonesia
