The boy and his creation

Gunggus elder son of Ni Mayang shows his manufacture an Ogoh Ogoh figure of a demon which he carries and shaking in the rythm on the Ngrupuk parade of Bhuta Yajna Ritual.
The main purpose of the making of Ogoh-ogoh is the purification of the natural environment of any spiritual pollutants emitted from the activities of living beings (especially humans). The forms of Ogoh-ogoh represent the Bhuta-Kala (Bhuta: eternal energy, Kala: eternal time), according to Hindu teachings. The imperceptible potentials of nature cannot be thoroughly explored by anyone. Philosophically, civilized men are required to manage the natural resources without damaging the environment itself.
