Nyepi is Bali’s annual Hindu day of silence, reflection, and restraint, observed with strict rules and a global traveller spotlight.
Luzian Andrin Zgraggen has been found guilty of violating Indonesia’s Nyepi restrictions after posting an Instagram video during the Day of Silence. The Denpasar court has ruled the posts offended Balinese residents and provoked public outrage. He says he did not intend to insult the Balinese people and regrets his actions.
