Nyepi Day is a start of the Saka new year and is celebrated by one of complete inactivity. During the seclusion day all activities are not functioning, including shops, bars and restaurants are closed and no-one is allowed to leave their home or hotel. These are conducted so that when the evil spirits descend they will decide that the island of gods, Bali is uninhabited and leave the island alone for another year. Prior to Nyepi Day, people from every village will create their own Ogoh-Ogoh – huge monster dolls, lifted on bamboo poles and paraded through the streets to frighten away all the evil spirits. Enjoy the Nyepi Eve parades then settle back for the quietest New Year’s Day of a life time.
