Tomorrow there is a Nyepi celebration in Bali. A unique celebration for Hindus. Starting tonight they have prepared a Nyepi celebration.
Tomorrow they fast, stay at home, do not leave the house at all. In the house they do a lot of prayer and recite. They begged forgiveness of God for all sins and also hoped for a better life until the next Nyepi celebration came. On that day the internet connection in Bali was stopped so that all Hindus could celebrate Nyepi with wisdom.
The streets in Bali are quiet and deserted like a dead city. Shops, shopping centers, entertainment venues and tourist attractions are very quiet. They all close. All dissolved in prayer.
But tomorrow, they will celebrate Nyepi by visiting Pura to pray while celebrating Saka's New Year. A new year for Hindus. They use traditional clothes and also carry traditional food and various other celebration supplies.
Nyepi Celebration is the biggest celebration in Bali.

No, It happens in Bali. I am in Java. And I am not Hindus. I am Moslem. But I am very proud with the unique tradition...
