Description:
Colourful effigies, depicting the evil spirits, were paraded through Bali's main crossroad crowded by thousands of curious onlookers. Each effigy, known as ogoh-ogoh, is traditionally paraded on the eve of Balinese New Year by every village across the predominantly Hindu island.
The bigger, more dramatic, and scarier an ogoh-ogoh is, the more it will be admired. Even though most of the ogoh-ogoh typically depict images from classical Balinese folklore, some have more modern characters than the traditional demons with bulging eyes, fangs and scary hair-do.
