Ogoh-Ogoh



Ogoh-Ogoh are large, demonic statues created in Bali, Indonesia, as part of the traditional celebrations for Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence.

These statues are typically made from bamboo, paper, and other materials, and are crafted to represent evil spirits or malevolent forces.

The night before Nyepi, a parade called Ngrupuk is held, where these Ogoh-Ogoh figures are carried through the streets along with the sounds of gamelan.
This ritual is believed to scare away evil spirits, ensuring harmony and balance in the new year.
