Ogoh-ogoh are statues built for the Ngrupuk parade, which takes place on the eve of Nyepi day in Bali, Indonesia. Ogoh-ogoh normally have form of mythological beings, mostly demons.
As with many creative endeavours based on Balinese Hinduism, the creation of Ogoh-ogoh represents spiritual aims inspired by Hindu philosophy
An Ogoh-ogoh is normally standing on a pad built of timber planks and bamboos.
The pad is designed to sustain the Ogoh-ogoh while it is being lifted and carried around the village or the town square.
There are normally eight or more men carrying the Ogoh-ogoh on their shoulders.
This procession is accompanied by orchestral music performed by the youth. The use of flares is also a main part of the parade.
