Cultural Event: Siwaratri

January 1st marks the Night of Siwa, or Siwa Ratri, an auspicious time for introspection and meditation.

January 1st marks the Night of Siwa, or Siwa Ratri, an auspicious time for introspection and meditation, during which the Balinese pray for forgiveness of their earthly sins and support and strength from the God Siwa (Shiva) to reach their higher selves. Part of these rituals involve fasting and staying awake all night, so Siwa Ratri is also known as the longest night. Siwa Ratri begins with an early morning prayer followed by fasting activities.

1 Januari menandai Malam Siwa, atau Siwa Ratri, waktu yang baik untuk introspeksi dan meditasi, di mana masyarakat Hindu Bali berdoa untuk pengampunan dosa duniawi mereka dan memuja kekuatan dari dewa Siwa untuk mendapatkan kedamaian dalam diri. Bagian dari upacara ini termasuk berpuasa dan begadang sepanjang malam, sehingga Siwa Ratri juga disebut sebagai malam terpanjang. Siwa Ratri diawali dengan sembahyang subuh kemudian dilanjutkan dengan kegiatan puasa.
