The goal of this day is to honor and appease Dewa Baruna, the ruler of the seas and oceans. This ritual practice started in the 17th century, under the reign of Dalem Waturenggong in the Klungkung regency of Klunkung. The ritual practice of this day includes meditation and silent contemplation on the importance of the aquatic environment. That is why it is better that day to wear a sarong to cover oneโs legs and a modest shirt or blouse to cover oneโs shoulders.
Nyepi Laut takes place on the fourth full moon of the Balinese calendar. This year it is on 18 October.
