NYEPI is a Balinese Day of Silence that is commemorated every Isakawarsa (Saka New Year), which observed from 6 am until 6 am the next morning. NYEPI is a day of silence, fasting, meditation for the Balinese, a day reserved for self-reflection and as such anything that might interfere with that purpose is restricted. The main restrictions are no lighthing fires (and lights must be kept low), no working, no entertainment or pleasure, no travelling and for some no talking or eating at all. The effect of these prohibitions is that Balis usually bustling streets & roads are empty, there is little or no noise from TVs & radios, and fee signs of activity are seen even inside homes. The only people to be seen outdoors are the Pecalang, traditional security men who patrol the streets to ensure the prohibitions are being followed. Santrian group would like to say...Happy Nyepi Day to all of you who celebrate at entire of Bali. We wish more peacefulness, friendliness, salvation, welfare and prosperity along this year...
