Nyepi Day in Bali

Nyepi Day in Bali

It’s almost time for Nyepi! The world-famous Balinese Day of Silence will bring the entire island to a standstill - for 24 wonderful hours.

It’s almost time for Nyepi! The world-famous Balinese Day of Silence will bring the entire island to a standstill - for 24 wonderful hours, Bali will be devoid of sound, light and movement, as locals and visitors alike remain indoors to welcome in the brand new Saka Bali New Year with quiet contemplation and self-reflection. 

Unique only to Bali, the traditions surrounding Nyepi can be traced back at least two thousand years. Leading up to the 24 hours of silence is a week of religious rituals comprising prayers and ceremonies with the intention of cleansing homes, temples, streets, businesses, neighbourhoods and religious relics of negative energies. 

The most exciting part of Nyepi is the magnificent Ogoh-Ogoh Parade that takes place the night before. Gigantic papier-mâché sculptures depicting demonic spiritual entities from Hindu mythology are carried throughout the streets with much fanfare, and later, burned to ashes. Everyone is welcome to witness the parade, so be sure you won’t miss out - it’s a sight to behold! 

This year’s Nyepi Day falls on March 11th from 6:00 am until 6:00 am on March 12th. Stay with us at Prime Plaza Hotel Sanur for Nyepi and take the opportunity to stargaze on the most brilliant and clearest night of the year!

 

Sebentar lagi masyarakat Bali akan merayakan hari raya Nyepi yang telah dikenal di seluruh dunia. Hari raya Nyepi adalah hari dimana seluruh pulau terhenti selama 24 jam. Tidak akan ada suara, cahaya dan gerakan, karena penduduk lokal dan pengunjung tetap berada di dalam rumah untuk menyambut Tahun Baru Saka Bali yang baru. dengan kontemplasi tenang dan refleksi diri.

Uniknya tradisi ini hanya ada di Bali, tradisi seputar Nyepi dapat ditelusuri kembali setidaknya dua ribu tahun yang lalu. Menjelang masa hening selama 24 jam, akan ada ritual keagamaan yang terdiri dari doa dan upacara dengan tujuan membersihkan rumah, Pura, jalan, tempat usaha, lingkungan sekitar, dan peninggalan keagamaan.

Bagian paling seru dari Nyepi adalah megahnya Parade Ogoh-Ogoh yang berlangsung pada malam sebelumnya. Patung raksasa yang menggambarkan entitas spiritual dari mitologi Hindu dibawa ke seluruh jalan dengan meriah, dan kemudian dibakar menjadi abu. Setiap orang dipersilakan untuk menyaksikan parade ini, jadi pastikan Anda tidak melewatkan parade ogoh ogoh yang patut disaksikan!

Hari Raya Nyepi tahun ini jatuh pada tanggal 11 Maret mulai pukul 06.00 pagi hingga pukul 06.00 pagi pada tanggal 12 Maret. Menginaplah bersama kami di Prime Plaza Hotel Sanur untuk Nyepi dan dapatkan kesempatan untuk melihat bintang di malam paling cemerlang dan paling cerah sepanjang tahun!
