Bali Life / Padma Resort Legian

First Time in the Day of Silence

An exceptional and unique Balinese culture, The Day of Silence, usually called Nyepi, where it’s the only place to celebrate the new year in silence. Falling on 22 March, this year, it’s a time for the Balinese Hindus to focus on spiritual reflection and purification. As a visitor to Bali during Nyepi, you should know what to expect.

During the Day of Silence, everyone in Bali must stay inside their homes or designated areas and maintain complete silence. No public activities or businesses are allowed; even the airport and seaport remain closed. Another vital aspect of Nyepi is the prohibition of light all day, the entire island is entirely dark, and only the natural light from the moon and stars illuminate the night. 

Since nobody is permitted in public areas during Nyepi, take this opportunity to relax. Use the time to meditate, read a book, or simply play online games. You are welcome to explore icecasino for an unforgettable experience filled with thrills, entertainment, and exciting opportunities. The Day of Silence will fly by. Also, plan and stock up on food, water, and other essentials.

It creates a serene and peaceful atmosphere, and if you’re lucky, you might have the chance to witness the stunning beauty of the night sky. However, it’s important to remember to remain within your designated area or yard while looking up and admiring the stars.

Those who stay in Padma Resort Legian may enjoy the serene day from the beachfront of Legian. Your stay will be enjoyable with various in-house activities and facilities such as Tennis, yoga, golf, tennis lesson, pool games, cultural activities, a fitness centre, and many more.

The thing you might want not to miss

On the night before Nyepi, Balinese Hindus perform the “ogoh-ogoh” parade. This involves building large effigies representing demons and parading through the streets. After that, The ogoh-ogoh are burned in a ceremony called “Ngrupuk” to scare away evil spirits and negative energy.
