Neypi Balinese New Year 1931




Yesterday was New Years eve for the year 1931. Today is a day called Neypi, which is a day for silence and meditation for the Hindu's of Bali. No noise is allowed, no fires, and no one is allowed outside the family compound. Even the airport is closed for this unique day.
