Later that night, all of the ogoh-ogoh are set alight. The following day (today) is Nyepi which is the day of lock down and peace and quiet. It’s been a really beautiful day….for me, spent mostly on the internet in between dips in the pool. The quietness is partly to ensure that the evil spirits think that the island is uninhabited and do not return, and partly as a day of reflection, to start the year anew and revived.
I suppose many Australians do this kind of quiet reflection on New Years Day too, but mainly due to their large hangovers.
