One
day before the Silent Day, there
will be a parade of Ogoh ogoh in the form of giants around the village area. Ogoh
ogoh is a kind of statue / giant doll in the form of evil spirit which is made
of light materials such as the combination of wood, bamboo, paper, and
styrofoam so it is easy to be lifted and paraded. It’s one of Hindu beliefs
that is used to chase the evil spirit away from the house / village.
The
day after Nyepi, all activities will go back to its
normal state.
The Silent Day or Nyepi Day has been Indonesia's national holiday since 1983.
We
hope this peaceful Nyepi Day will bring you an unforgettable experience on the
Magical Island of Bali.
