Culture and Art Festival in Kuta Bali
As Balinese use their own calendar system, their new year was celebrated on March 26 this year. The Balinese open their new year in silence which is called Nyepi day (the day of silence). On Nyepi day, there are no normal daily activities conducted. Every street is so quite. People stay at their homes with minimum light and noise.
A day before Nyepi day, Balinese perform the ogoh-ogoh parade all over Bali. Ogoh-ogoh is a representative of evil spirit made of the materials such as bamboo and paper that have to get rid from human lives. For the reason of the incoming general election and the safety, the Ogoh-ogoh parade was not allowed this year. However, several villages were participated in the Culture and Art Festival held in Kuta area. The festival featured the competition of ogoh-ogoh as well as traditional music and dances.
