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, 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 Suites Sanur for Nyepi - there’ll be lots of activities and entertainment in-house, and the opportunity to stargaze on the most brilliant and clearest night of the year!

Omed Omedan, The Kissing Festival

Did you know that we have our own “kissing” festival here in Bali? Known as Omed-Omedan, this fascinating 100-year-old tradition takes place every year the day after Nyepi in the village of Sesetan, in Banjar Kaja, Denpasar. 

Omed-Omedan means “to pull” in the Balinese language. On this day, the young and unmarried girls and boys of the village between the ages of 17 and 30 will come together to celebrate the first day of the Balinese New Year with this fun and exciting tradition. 

The event begins with a mass prayer. Thereafter, the groups, divided into boys and girls, stand facing each other. Once the signal has been given, both groups will start pulling at one another, with the males trying to kiss their chosen females. 

Throughout the event, buckets of water are poured over the youngsters to add to the fun and excitement of it all. The festivities last for approximately 2 hours until every participant has been kissed. 

Banjar Kaja, Sesetan, is only a 12-minute drive from Prime Plaza Suites Sanur. Do speak to our Concierge if you’d like to witness this thrilling event, and do bear in mind that foreigners are only allowed to watch, not participate.
