Melasti Ceremony Before Nyepi Day For Hindus On The Island Of Bali, Indonesia.
A religious leader collects holy water from the sea during a Melasti ceremony at Petitenget Beach on March 16, 2026, in Bali, Indonesia. The ceremony is intended to purify and cleanse individuals and sacred objects from temples, removing spiritual and natural impurities in a sacred spring. It takes place before Nyepi, a day of silence during which people are prohibited from leaving their homes, working, and lighting fires or lamps for 24 hours, dedicated to silence, self-control, self-reflection, meditation, and introspection to achieve inner balance and harmony.
