"Bali's Nyepi: A Day of Silence and Renewal for Tourists and Locals"

Bali's Nyepi, the day of silence, marks the Saka New Year and is observed by Balinese Hindus to cleanse the island of demons and start the new year afresh. The SAKA Museum in Bali offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in Nyepi traditions, showcasing the journey of renewal through various exhibits. Silence during Nyepi is seen as a way to boost brainpower, as it contrasts with the modern world's constant noise. Visitors to Bali during Nyepi are encouraged to experience the ogoh-ogoh parades before embracing fasting, breathing, darkness, and stargazing during the day of silence.
