Melasti Ceremony Ahead Of Balinese Day Of Silence In Banten, Indonesia
Hindu devotees perform prayer during the Melasti ceremony at Tanjung Pasir Beach in Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia, on March 15, 2026. The ritual, held annually ahead of Nyepi, or the Balinese Day of Silence, is believed to purify and cleanse the universe. Nyepi marks the new year of the Balinese Hindu calendar, during which people refrain from travel, work, lighting fires, and other activities as part of a day dedicated to silence, reflection, and self-restraint.
