He added, ogoh-ogoh is a puppet or a variety of statues that symbolize the negative elements, bad traits, and evils that exist around human life.
The doll was once made of a bamboo frame covered with paper. Over time, most ogoh-ogoh are made with Styrofoam basic ingredients for finer three-dimensional shapes.
They prepared ogoh-ogoh is weeks before Nyepi. Ogoh-ogoh has various style, depending on the size, type of material, designer, and the complexity of the ogoh-ogoh design.
