The atmosphere was quiet during the Nyepi celebration, at Jonggol Shanti Loka Temple, in Jlono Hamlet, Kemuning Village, Ngargoyoso District, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java, Wednesday (22/3/2023). Most residents perform seclusion worship at the local temple. As a form of concern, residents of other religions help look after the vacant houses.
The rain pouring down Jlono hamlet, Kemuning village, Ngargoyoso district, Karanganyar regency, Central Java on Wednesday afternoon (22/3/2023) had just abated. Three men went out of their homes and walked around the village, which was totally quiet. There was no sound of the residents’ activity whatsoever.
The three stepped gently. They took care not to make much noise. Their eyes were focused on every house they passed by. They wanted to make sure that every door was properly locked by its houseowner.
