Balinese New Year

Balinese New Year, also known as Nyepi or Day of Silence, is a significant day in the Saka New Year Calendar observed in March, following the new moon. This Hindu celebration is a day where worldly tasks stop and reflection, contemplation and introspection begin. During this period of time there are restrictions of the use of electricity, working, travelling and entertainment, leaving the the streets silent and serene. Reviewing the past year and making higher expectations for oneself, many often seek forgiveness from people they have wronged in the past. Afterwards, there are various celebrations including parades and dances that take place in the local streets.

Our Indonesian Infusion (VIC, QLD, NSW, ACT, WA) takes participants on an immersive and interactive journey, showcasing the amazing diversity of Indonesian places and culture through customs, language, dance, traditional dress and music.
