Ogah Ogah is a big paper mache statue the Hindus build prior to Nyepi Day. Ours (built by the Dynasty staff) was fairly big. It was on carried right round the grounds of the hotel. (It was very lightweight and everyone had a turn helping to carry it). Accordingly to their Hindu belief, the Ogah Ogah gathers up the evil spirits then at the end of the procession (on the beach), it's set fire to.
