The Peak of Nyepi

At the time full moon kedasa, came the culmination of all series of Nyepi. On that day atmosphere like dead, no lights lit on this day, vehicle sound usually heard on the street is silent, because on this day all Hindus perform Catur Bratha Penyepian, namely : 
1.     Amati Geni (not fiery), Amati Geni means all the Hindus who perform Hari Raya Nyepi   may not turn out anything that is light and bright, like a lamp, candles, etc 
2.     Amati Karya (not working), Amati Karya means all Hindus who perform Hari Raya Nyepi should not be working. All work performed must be dispensed pasa today, including institutions govemment agencies,offices, and factories - factories that exist in the region who perform Hari Raya Nyepi 
3.     Amati Lelungan (not traveling), Amati Lelungan means all Hindus who perform Nyepi should not be treveling or our of the home environment, such as shopping at the market, go to the house of a friend,etc 
4.     Amati Lelanguan (do not do entertaiment), Amati Lelungan means all Hindus who perform Nyepi should not be having fun and should not be doing excessive entertainment such as watching TV, using the HP, held a feast, and all activities that are fun 
    Also during the ceremony Nyepi Hindus were usually fasted the entire day. Then after the ceremony ended Nyepi, the next day all Hindus perform Ngembak Geni, which is usually done with the bath in spring water, such as beaches and lakes. Later in the show one after another with forgiveness between one another, and brother. 
    That's the peak of Nyepi and hopefully the new period that will come into better human life.
