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, Bali, Indonesia, on March 16, 2026. The ceremony purifies and cleanses individuals 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 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.
