It just happened once a year in Bali ” Day of Silence ” aka NYEPI. These mandatory religious prohibitions include no pleasure (amati lelangon), no traffic (amati lelungan), no fire (amati geni), and no work (amati karya). This year, Nyepi Day falls on 29-30 March 2025.
One day before Nyepi, Pengerupukan Day, there will be a nearest Ogoh-Ogoh parade performed by their neighboring villagers in the evening. Ogoh-Ogoh is the manifestation of a person, an object, or anything that disturbs human lives. This parade is an exorcism ceremony at the main village crossroad, the meeting place of the demons. Beforehand, there will be a Perang Api (fire war) to start the parade with.
“Perang Api (Fire War) is usually performed by young men one day before Nyepi Day. Using fireballs of dried coconut husks, the men throw the flaming balls at each other symbolizing the courage to drive demons away. The sparks of fire from the Perang Api symbolize that a man’s biggest enemy is himself and when he can overcome this, he will have the ultimate happiness.”
You are more than welcome to witness this ritual parade before dinner time. You will be gathering at the Lobby at 18:00 on the 28th of March 2025.
