Nyepi is a Balinese "Day of Silence" which is held once a year (this year will be on March 05, 2011, observed from 6 am until 6 am the next morning) and is a series of celebrations to welcome the Caka New Year in Balinese Hindu religion. Nyepi has been celebrated in Bali since the era of Majapahit. The essence of the feast of Nyepi is a self-introspection and reflection before Caka New Year. For that a tranquil and quiet atmosphere is required to clear the mind and to ask the Creator that next year all the mistakes done in the existing year will not be repeated again in the coming New Year.
On this day the Balinese Hindues do 4 of prohibitions, they are:
* No light or fire: this means the Balinese will not lit the fire and turn on the light. This is signify to control of the emotion.
* No work: The Balinese will stop any activities just to keep themselves to do the doctrine of the region.
* No Travelling: The Balinese just stay at home.
* No Pleasure: There will be no recreation, no sound/music.
To respect and honour this day the local government will do:
* Close all of the harbours in Bali.
* Denpasar airport will close for the flights to pick up and drop passengers at Denpasar airport.
* The flights activities will be allowed at Denpasar airport: landing and medical evacuation.
* For the transit flight crews and passengers will stay at the airport.
* No transportation is allowed, no light, so Bali will be dark.
* Only on emergency situations people be allowed to leave hotel/house.
Happy Silent Day, Bali!
