Shops seem to open later on day after Nyepi (New Years Day). Last year department stores opened around 2pm.
Market stalls and local shops open in dribs and drabs over the next day or two. Since many shopkeepers return to their villages for Nyepi they take a day or two to return and get back into the full swing of operation.
The market last year was great. Probably equally catering for locals and tourists. The ogah ogahs are burned on the beach front near the cremation site, heading to Bali Garden Hotel. Its well worth a visit to the market, almost opposite HRH and heading south.
