We were lucky enough to be in Bali for the Hindu New Year (Nyepi Day) which is cellebrated every March in Bali. Preparations begin a month or so before the festival, with the construction of large bamboo and papier-mâché demonic effigies called ogoh-ogohs by each village. These representations of evil spirits are paraded through the village.
Nyepi itself is a day of total silence. No work is done, no fires may be lit, and no one should be seen outside. We had to stay in the hotel for this day-a day of silence-is always a challenge for me!
