JASMINE NYEPI IN BALI

The Hindu Temple throws the quarrel animal to the sea at the top of the ritual Melasti ahead of the Nyepi Year of Saka 1940 on Purnama Beach, Gianyar, Bali, Wednesday (14/3). The annual ritual lasts three days alternately which is mostly held on the beach, lakes and rivers throughout Bali to purify nature so that the Nyepi Day can run hening and peaceful.
