Ogog Ogoh: Cycling Fun Club
Nyepi day is approaching, traditionally on the evening prior to Nyepi the local communities carry Ogoh Ogoh (giant monster effigies) around the streets in a noisy parade with gongs and flaming torches. The purpose of this is to frighten away the negative forces of the underworld that are an intrinsic element in Balinese Hinduism.
Ogoh ogoh is made from wood frames and bamboo intricately weaved and tied then covered with papier mache. The figure of Ogoh Ogoh is mostly evil giant like. Every Banjar has huge one and small one is for the kids – so they can carry easily.
