Ogoh - Ogoh ( Monster Parade )

Ogoh - Ogoh ( Monster Parade ) a sculpture depicting the Balinese culture personality "Bhuta Kala" and has become an icon in the tradition of ritual is very important in the welcome Nyepi or New Year Saka. The entire Hindu Dharma will rejoice to welcome the new year with a procession parading "ogoh-ogoh" that coincided with the contemplation of that has happened and been done so far. By the time "Pangrupukan" or a day before Nyepi, the events and the procession every year is the same on each Banjar (adat Village level) in Bali will compete in terms of making "ogoh-ogoh" as attractive as possible. When making art more valuable, complex, and more recently, the "ogoh-ogoh" that is expected to raise a question of dignity that makes it.

The main function "ogoh-ogoh" Bhuta Kala is a representation made before the celebration of Nyepi Day, where "ogoh-ogoh" will be paraded around the rollicking banjo or village at dusk, a day before Nyepi (Pangrupukan). According to scholars and practitioners of the Hindu Dharma, this procession symbolizes the conviction of the power of human beings of the universe and infinite time earthshaking. That power includes the power "Bhuana Supreme" (the universe) and "Bhuana Alit" (man). In view of philosophy (tattwa), it can deliver the power of living things in the universe, particularly humans can achieve happiness or destruction. It all depends on the intention of the noble man, as God's most precious creatures in keeping himself and the whole world.

In the teachings of Hindu Dharma, Bhuta Kala symbolizes the power of the universe (bhu) and time (when) the immeasurable and undeniable. In the embodiment of the statue in question, "Bhuta Kala" was described as a big scary figure and generally a giant form (rakshasa). Giant meat-eating is a nation of humans or sometimes as a nation of cannibals and described in "Yakshagana", a popular art of "Karnataka". According to Hindu mythology and Buddhist states, the word "rakshasa" means "cruelty", which is the opposite of the word "raksha" which means "peace". But not all have giant personalities cruel, like Wibisana, Hiranyaksa, and Hiranyakasipu, who received a blessing from the gods because they worship Lord Brahma. According to the Ramayana book outlines, that the giant was created from the feet of Brahma. Meanwhile, according to another story, they are derived from figures Pulastya, Khasa, Nirriti, and Nirrita.
In the presence of the procession "Ogoh-Ogoh" which has become a tradition here that adds to the appeal of both foreign tourists and the archipelago. Because in addition to having beautiful tourist spots, Balipun has a rich culture that became the mainstay of tourism. It feels incomplete when tourists visit not see the procession "Ogoh-Ogoh" to welcome Nyepi or New Year Saka.
