Nyepi Day Notification

On Sunday, March 10, around 6:00 PM, all villages in Bali will perform the "caru" ceremony to expel evil spirits called "bhuta kala". The ceremony will be followed by the sound of various percussion instruments or other sound tools such as gongs, kentongs, bamboos, and others. This ceremony is called "pengrupukan ceremony," and it is intended to drive away all evil spirits from the earth.

Monday, March 11, is NYEPI DAY - the first day of the Saka New Year 1946. Everyone living in Bali is required to stay inside their home or accommodation starting from 6:00 AM for 24 hours straight! This regulation is officially enforced and monitored by the government and village officials. People are not allowed to light fires/stoves or turn on lights; they are encouraged to meditate and pray - clearing their minds and hearts or called "brata penyepian."
