Ogoh-Ogoh are large figures that are made traditionally from bamboo, paper mache, and other diverse materials. In Indonesia, Ogoh-Ogoh is usually constructed to serve as mythological heroes, demons, and evil spirits. The making of the Ogoh-Ogoh is not an individual but a group-centred activity and every village or banjar community group in Bali participates in making these beautiful crafts. The statues are often grotesque and frightening, designed to scare away evil spirits and symbolize the purification of the environment from spiritual pollutants.
