YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA, April 26, 2024 (VOI): The ogoh-ogoh oarade is one of the processions on Nyepi Day in Bali. Hindus on the Island of the Gods will hold a vandalization or procession of ogoh-ogoh one day before Nyepi. After being brought around the village, this ogoh-ogoh statue was then burned. This year’s Nyepi Day falls on Monday 11 March 2024. Hindus in the country carry out various rituals starting from before Nyepi celebration day. The ogoh-ogoh statue is visualized in the form of a large giant with a scary face and long nails. These ogoh-ogoh are burned as symbols to destroy Bhuta Kala , a representation of all forms of evil on earth and human ill-fatedness. The fusion of evil and evil is also a reflection for humans. When the ogoh-ogoh is burned, then we humans must also burn or destroy all evil in our hearts and minds. The ogoh-ogoh or ganging parades are usually carried out by youths from each Sekaa Teruna Teruni (STT) of each traditional banjar. The ogoh-ogoh statue is paraded around the village accompanied by a gamelan. In addition, participants will also carry torches to accompany the ogoh-ogoh parade.
