Flashback to the last The Bhuta Yajna Ritual, which will be performed again this evening: the Bhuta Yajnu Ritual is performed in order to vanquish the negative elements and create a balance with God, Mankind, and Nature. Balinese villages usually make ogoh-ogoh, demonic statues made of richly painted bamboo and styrofoam symbolizing negative elements or malevolent spirits. After the ogoh-ogoh have been paraded around the village, the Ngrupuk ritual takes place, which involves burning the ogoh-ogoh. The following day is Nyepi day, the day of silence, so you won't be hearing from us until after 6am on Wednesday 👹 • • • #gekodivebali #divingbali #padangbai #indonesia #bali #balilife #scubadiverlife #photooftheday #picoftheday #instapic #scuba #adventure #scubadiving #diving #ocean #sea #bestdiving #bestdivingbali #nature #ilovediving #tropical #saltwater #surfaceinterval #readysetdive #ogahogah #nyepi #dayofsilence #BhutaYajna (at Padangbai)
