Melasti Ceremony Before Nyepi Day For Hindus On The Island Of Bali, Indonesia.
Hindus gather to hold a Melasti ceremony at Petitenget Beach on the island of Bali, Indonesia, on March 16, 2026. The ceremony involves purifying and cleansing themselves and sacred objects from temples, washing away spiritual and natural impurities in a sacred spring. It is held before Nyepi, a day of silence during which everyone is prohibited from leaving their homes, working, and lighting fires or lamps for 24 hours. Nyepi is dedicated to silence, self-control, self-reflection, meditation, and introspection to achieve inner balance and harmony. (Photo by Muhammad Fauzy/NurPhoto)
