Nyepi is one of many Balinese sacred days. Just before Nyepi, there are many rituals done by the locals. Right in the Nyepi eve, the locals would gather Ogoh-ogoh, Balinese Sacred Giant Paper Statues from all districts. They will finally ?battle? the Ogoh-ogoh late at night.

Ogoh-ogoh are monster statues made of bamboo and paper designed for the Ngrupuk parade. Ogoh-ogoh usually is designed to look like the mythological creatures, most of the time, in a shape of demons. Ogoh-ogoh is made as a symbol to purify the environment from any spiritual waste made by the people during their daily activities.

On the procession in the Nyepi eve, the Ogoh-ogoh is turned aoround three times to the left. This is a symbol of the connection of the bodies to the spirits. This Ogoh-ogoh act is held in every corner of the village. It is done as a way to confuse the evil spirits in order to let them will go away and will not bring negative effect into human beings
