Hindu Cleansing Ceremony In Jakarta
Devotees are offering prayers during a cleansing ceremony called 'Melasti' at Segara Temple in Jakarta, Indonesia, on March 3, 2024. Indonesian Hindus believe that performing the Melasti ritual is essential ahead of Nyepi Day, The Day of Silence, to purify the soul and nature, recharge the supernatural power of the temple's sacred objects, and cleanse the temple paraphernalia. Nyepi Day is a national holiday in Indonesia, dedicated to self-reflection and abstaining from distractions such as entertainment. According to the Indonesian Hindu calendar, Nyepi will fall on Monday, March 11, 2024, following the new moon. The observance lasts for 24 hours, starting at 6 AM and continuing until 6 AM on March 12. (Photo by Afriadi Hikmal/NurPhoto)
