NYEPI CELEBRATION AT DAJUMA
Nyepi, Bali’s Day of Silence, took place on March 29th, bringing the entire island to a standstill. This sacred Hindu celebration marks the Balinese New Year with a full day of self-reflection, silence, and meditation. From sunrise to sunrise, no one is allowed to leave their homes, work, or even use lights, creating an atmosphere of deep introspection. The airport, roads, and businesses shut down completely, making Bali the quietest place on Earth. The day before, vibrant Ogoh-Ogoh parades fill the streets with giant demon effigies, symbolizing the cleansing of negative energies. On Nyepi itself, people fast, pray, and contemplate their actions over the past year. It is a time to reconnect with oneself and nature while seeking harmony with the universe. Even our guests must respect the silence, experiencing an unparalleled moment of peace. Nyepi is not just a religious ritual—it’s a powerful reminder to pause, reflect, and renew.
