Hello, friends!
Today we're watching one of the most spectaculars sites
bound with New Year on Bali - Ogoh-Ogoh Parade.
Bali has its own calendar and the New Year is the day after tomorrow.
The day before yesterday was Melasti, a ceremony of purification by energy of water
Today is Ogoh-Ogoh Parade
Tomorrow is the day of silence - Nyepi
And the day after tomorrow is the fist day of 1939
Processions will be held in all big districts, and in some has already started,
like in Kute where It was an hour early:
I have to speak very loud - they play some Hellish music.
Let's walk around and watch the statues
The biggest parade are holding here - in Denpasar.
I'm now at a big park in the center of Denpasar.
The statues should had been already here, but it's been raining all day
Just look at this grey sky, I had to take an umbrella.
However now sky is getting more clear.
The parade is starting,
the first sculpture is being carried - a giant dragon.
The statues symbolize demons that will be destroyed or
burned down at the end of the parade as an act of purification.
There's no any restrictions on the figures of evil and sin:
here and Hinduism and local animism and the characters from movies and cartoons
or the artist's flight of fancy.
Just look at this crowd - you can't move at all here!
Statues are made by every village or district.
Building of the big ones takes months of work.
Some statues are made and carried by сhildren's groups
- here's one of them, Rangda, the chief of local daemons.
She is depicted as an old woman with saggy breasts
, claws and... something that looks like artificial fur.
Many of the statues move with their own lightning and music.
The biggest are accompanied by variations of local orchestra Gamelan.
Others are carried with pop and rock tunes
(and happy youngers dance like on a concrete)
Ogoh-Ogoh are rotated 3 times counterclockwise at each crossroad,
hat should disorient the demons and show the skills:
statues are required to be simultaneously light and lasting to endure shaking and rotation.
And it requires strength and coordinated work of the teams that try their best to revolve the stands.
Some groups turn revolving into bewitching show.
Fire engine is driving right here very fast
- probably one of the fire show went wrong.
The orchestras deserve special attention:
it's not classical Gamelan - some movable variety with different set of instruments.
Walking with orchestra plunges into a trance.
Rangda is very popular character, so the boobs theme is ever-present.
It looks as some nail fetish - almost all demons has huge toenails.
Main religion on Bali - Balinese Hinduism is a mix of local animism, Buddhism and Hinduism,
that creates unique ceremonies, customs and temple architecture.
In spite of deep connection between religion and life of the locals and even politics and social regulations,
Balinese Hinduism is extremely tolerant to others.
By the way, Bali airport is the on in the world that closes for 24 h for the Day of Silence, Nyepi.
From 6am after Parade to 6 am of the next day the Island sinks into silence.
Officially prohibited (also for the tourists) to leave houses, make noise and use outdoor lighting.
The hotels offer special tours to neighboring islands, where prohibitions loose force.
But I recommend spending that 24h on the island:
- due to absolute darkness the night sky is getting fabulously beautiful and silence reveals all the sounds of nature
Balinese spend that day in silence, fasting and meditation, thinking over spent year.
and dedicate the next day to visiting relatives and temples.
Height of many figures requires special bamboo bar to lift electric wires.
Some ogoh-ogoh are destroyed by shaking, revolving and сollisions with the trees.
But no one is disappointed by the destiny of evil demons.
While I was watching parade as a viewer, it didn't make an impression.
Parade isn't designed for tourists. However, when I joined procession, started talking with people,
pushing Ogoh-Oogoh carts, trying orchestra instruments, observe teamwork,
only then I felt huge positive emotional impact of the ceremony.
Thanks to all participants for the great show and assistance in filming.
11:30pm, no one leaves, everyone keep going parade. Square is still full of people.
I walked with procession through almost all crossroads (my sweaty face proves it).
There is no one tourist around, only locals.
People are smiling, I haven't seen unfriendly face all that time, despite of the crowd .
I have't seen any drunk people and haven't seen any disappointed or sad people.
These are my emotions about the Parade.
