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&#8217;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.<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/voi.id\/kr\/lifestyle\/364146\n\">https:\/\/voi.id\/kr\/lifestyle\/364146<br><\/a><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA, April 26, 2024 (VOI): The ogoh-ogoh oarade is one of the processions on Nyepi Day in Bali.
