On 6 March 2008, Hindu devotees in Bali will celebrate the Çaka New Year that is commonly known as Nyepi or Silence Day. The Çaka year calendar system was begun in 78 AD; therefore, the year 2008 becomes Çaka New Year 1930. So, what are they doing in welcoming the New Year?

According to its name, Nyepi or Silence, is a ‘tranquil’ ambience. On that day, the Island of Bali is lifeless. No activities. Every street is silent. From Canggu to Seminyak, from Jimbaran to Ubud every where the road will be empty. On the day, Hindu’s performs Catur Brata Penyepian or four abstinences, Amati Geni (non-fury), Amati Lelanguan (no extravagant parties, devotees usually perform fasting), Amati Lelungan (going nowhere), Amati Karya (abstain from doing regular or negative activity like gambling etc.). One day after Nyepi is Ngembak Geni. Devotees resume to perform worldly activities and it is taken advantage of to carry out an informal and friendly day in which they visit each other, their family and relatives.

Tourists are advised to stay at their hotels.
