The Balinese Nyepi festival incorporates traditional practices such as silence, fasting, and self-reflection. On this Day of Silence, the island's usual hustle is replaced with a day dedicated to introspection. Rituals include the cleansing of bad spirits through the Ogoh-Ogoh parade on the eve of Nyepi, where large demon-like figures are paraded and eventually burned. This blend of festivities and solemnity highlights the cultural balance between celebration and spirituality.
