Ogoh-Ogoh Competition – Sanur 2016 Posted by sasha on Mar 16, 2016 in Uncategorized

An amazing ogoh-ogoh festival in Sanur.

The day before Nyepi (Balinese New Year) is the ogoh-ogoh festival. Villages across the island create their own ogoh-ogoh statue, a mythological being or demon that help to rid the island of bad spirits. See highlights from this year’s celebration in Sanur, where twenty-three villages got together for a big competition.
