More about Ogoh-Ogoh

Contrary to popular tourist belief, the tradition of Ogoh-Ogoh is relatively new, with its origins in the 80s. Balinese often say that one of the motivations was to give the Balinese youth something constructive to do when preparing for the upcoming New Year. Ogoh-Ogoh are statues up to five metres high, which represent the negative aspects or all living things.

    Impresionante la máscara, la tradición y creencias se juntan en estos pueblos.

    ... es gibt auch gute Geister, z.B. Himbeergeist, Kloster Frau Melissen Geist, Latschengeist, der Geist im Weinbrand usw. (leider selten auf Bali), Gruß Wolfgang
