During this period,  Bali\u2019s Ngurah Rai Airport is closed to all flights; the seaports closed, ferry services suspended, people confined to their homes, and tourists are not allowed to leave their hotels. Even streets are emptied of vehicular traffic, as hotel workers must remain at their place of employment, prohibited from returning home from Wednesday evening until Friday morning.<br><br>The Bali-Hindu tenet of \u201cCatur Brata&#8221; stipulates that during Nyepi, devout Balinese must obey the four chief prohibitions of \u201cAmati geni\u201d (not igniting any fire or lighting), \u201cAmati Karya\u201d (to refrain from work), \u201cAmati lelungan\u201d (to not venture outside the home), and \u201cAmati lelanguan\u201d (to not partake in pleasurable activities and entertainment). Non-Hindu people residing in Bali during Nyepi must observe this sacred day of peace and introspection by remaining inside their places of residence for the entire 24 hour period, avoiding activities that would transgress the observance of the day of silence.<br><br>Bali\u2019s Interfaith Council (FKUB) has listed several directives for Nyepi at \u201csource\u201d:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/balidiscovery.com\/the-dos-and-donts-of-nyepi-day-in-bali\/\n\">https:\/\/balidiscovery.com\/the-dos-and-donts-of-nyepi-day-in-bali\/<br><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BALI, INDONESIA, February 27, 2022 (Balidiscovery.com): Nyepi is 24 hours of absolute silence imposed on the island of Bali from,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18229,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18220"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18220\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18234,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18220\/revisions\/18234"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
