Nyepi Holy Day

This is one of the most unique celebrations in the world. It is also known as the Day of Silence. This unique day is celebrate once a year between March or April.

On this day Balinese must remain in their homes for 24hrs, abstaining from lighting fires and work. Before this holiday at night, house yards are symbolically swept of demons and lots of noise is made to scare negative forces away. Great big papier-mache puppets, called ogoh-ogoh, parade through the streets.
