Nyepi Day is a big day for Hindus, as mean as the days turn of the year which is certain saka carried out every once a year. Which falls on the day after tileming Kesanga on one sasih kedasa (around mid-March Year of Masehi).
There are four activities which must be implemented on the day of Nyepi, namely:
a. Amati Geni (no fire)
b. Amati Karya (no activity)
c. Observe Lelangunan (not fun)
d. Observe Lelungan (not traveling)
On Nyepi the year 2010, I celebrated Nyepi in Bali with their relatives and friends who were there. Nyepi Nyepi year 2010 is the most fun, because I can follow the progress Nyepi with wisdom.
Three days before Nyepi is Melasti ceremony, me and my friends went kepantai to purify themselves. There we prayed, with the begging for our sins forgiven. Then one day before Nyepi day held staging ogoh-ogoh.
Ogoh-ogoh (giant symbol of evil who want to master the human with the negative nature) is all we have created a month before the day of Nyepi.

With a ceremony called Pengerupukan, which means eliminating the negative nature to become a positive nature for Hindus not molested in carrying Nyepi in the next day.

On the evening before Nyepi, I and friends around the house shouting, raising the population with ogoh-ogoh, which we felt at that time was a very exciting pleasure. The process lasted for about two to three hours. Then when the ceremony pengerupukan finished, we bring ogoh-ogoh spacious place to be burned. Sign that we are all Hindus are ready to implement tomorrow Nyepi.
In the morning, precisely holiday Nyepi in Bali abolished all activity. Television show, to radio broadcasts as well not exist. People do not travel.
That day I just spent time with my friends told me to just around the house.
Not much I can do on the day of Nyepi.
At night the island of Bali as the island of death, because there is seemingly none of the visible light. At that time I was just thinking to myself to not forget to pray.
The important thing is known, that the day of Nyepi is, in a state of quiet or silent we will be successful conduct introspective, unify mind and uniting creativity, taste, and wills. And the next day there Ngembak called Geni, all Hindus perform the show's Greetings.
