Bali marked
Hari Raya Suci Nyepi Saca 1943 on Sunday, 14 March 2021. Occurring on the Balinese calendar once every 210 days,
Nyepi is a day of absolute silence in which seaports and the airport are closed for 24 hours. All Island residents are expected to spend the entire period – from sunrise on 14 March until dawn the following day – in shuttered houses with the lights off.
The Bali-Hindu tenet of
Nyepi must obey the four chief prohibitions of
“Amati geni” (not igniting any fire or lighting),
“Amati Karya” (to refrain from work
), “Amati lelungan” (to not venture outside the home), and
“Amati lelanguan” (to not partake in pleasurable activities and entertainment).
