Balinese Cultural Calendar (Saka Calendar): Pengerupukan & Nyepi Day

Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence held on March 29^th 2025, marks the Saka New Year and is a time for self-reflection and renewal. It is preceded by Pengerupukan, held one day before Nyepi, is a vibrant celebration. This includes the Tawur Kesanga ritual to purify the environment and the spectacular Ogoh-Ogoh parade, where giant demonic effigies are carried through the streets and then burned to drive away negative energy. These traditions symbolize the balance between good and evil and set the stage for a day of complete stillness.

On Nyepi Day, Bali comes to a standstill as residents observe the Catur Brata Penyepian, refraining from fire, work, travel, and entertainment. This one-of-a-kind tradition fosters spiritual cleansing, harmony, and a deep connection with nature. The following day, Ngembak Geni, marks a joyous return to normal life, where families and communities seek forgiveness and embrace new beginnings. Experiencing Nyepi in Bali is truly unforgettable, a rare opportunity to witness an island-wide pause, embrace serenity, and immerse yourself in a culture unlike any other. If you're looking for a meaningful and unique getaway, Bali in late March 2025 is the perfect place to be!

Omed-Omedan: Bali’s Playful Festival of Love and Unity

Bali is known for its deep-rooted traditions, and one of the most unique cultural celebrations is the Omed-Omedan Festival, also known as the "Kissing Ritual." Held annually on the day after Nyepi, in the Banjar Kaja neighborhood of Denpasar’s Sesetan village, this lively event brings together young, unmarried Balinese in a symbolic act of unity, joy, and prosperity.

Dating back over a century, Omed-Omedan is believed to bring good fortune and strengthen the bond within the community. The festival's name itself means "pull-pull" in Balinese, reflecting the playful nature of the event. The tradition begins with prayers at the local temple, followed by the main attraction, a spirited tug-of-war-style “kissing” ritual. Groups of young men and women face each other, and as the crowd cheers them on, they are gently pushed together. Elders and spectators keep the excitement going by pouring buckets of water over the participants, adding to the fun and laughter.

This one of a kind festival is a must-see for visitors looking to experience Bali beyond its beaches and temples. With its mix of cultural heritage, youthful energy, and joyful atmosphere, Omed-Omedan showcases the island’s spirit of togetherness and renewal. If you’re in Bali after Nyepi, don’t miss the chance to witness this fascinating tradition!
