An Ogoh Ogoh made in Sembung
The forms of Ogoh Ogoh represent the Bhuta-Kala (Bhuta: eternal energy, Kala: eternal time), according to Hindu teachings.
The name Ogoh Ogoh is derived from the Balinese “ogah-ogah”, meaning “to shake”, and it represents the Bhuta-Kala or evil spirits, vices that need to kept away from humans. Many locals from the Banjar community in Sembung will carry their Ogoh-Ogoh on the convoy, shaking it to make it look like it's moving and dancing.
