Hindu Cleansing Ceremony In Jakarta

Hindu Cleansing Ceremony In Jakarta

Indonesian Hindus are praying during a cleansing ceremony called 'Melasti' at Segara Temple in Jakarta, Indonesia, on March 3, 2024. They believe that the Melasti ritual is essential to perform ahead of Nyepi Day, The Day of Silence, to purify the soul and nature, recharge the supernatural power of the temple's sacred objects, and cleanse the temple paraphernalia. Nyepi Day is a national holiday in Indonesia, dedicated to self-reflection and abstaining from distractions such as entertainment. In 2024, according to the Indonesian Hindu calendar, Nyepi officially falls on Monday, March 11, following the new moon. The celebration lasts for 24 hours, starting at 6 AM and continuing until 6 AM on March 12. (Photo by Afriadi Hikmal/NurPhoto)

    Indonesia Waiting Increased Economic Behind The Ramadan

    An Indonesian Starbikes vendor is carrying a motorcycle-mounted instant coffee maker in the business district during the holy month of Ramadan in Jakarta, Indonesia, on March 27, 2024. The government is hoping that this year's Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr celebrations will bring increased economic growth amidst global conditions full of uncertainty. They are expecting this after seeing that people's consumption values are increasing drastically ahead of Eid. This increase aligns with the distribution of holiday allowances or THR that private workers and state civil servants have received. In fact, the THR for government employees has been extended to retirees and heirs of pension recipients, which boosts people's purchasing power and has the potential to encourage national economic progress.
