Melasti Ceremony Before Nyepi Day For Hindus On The Island Of Bali, Indonesia.
Hundreds of Hindus gather for a Melasti ceremony at Petitenget Beach on the island of Bali, Indonesia, on March 16, 2026. The ceremony involves purifying and cleansing participants and sacred objects from temples, using a sacred spring to wash away spiritual and natural impurities. It takes place before Nyepi, a day of silence dedicated to self-control, self-reflection, meditation, and introspection, during which people remain indoors and refrain from work and lighting fires or lamps for 24 hours.
