Nyepi is also known as the ‘day of silence’. While this is not a visitor friendly festival, as everyone stays off the streets and roads and people are expected to stay in their hotels or homes, there’s an amazing spectacle to be seen on the eve of the festival. A parade of papier mâché ghosts is taken out which is the unique feature of this Balinese festival. The ghosts represent negative energy which are driven away as part of the parade.
