Bali holds religious parade on the eve of Hindu New Year As part of the ritual to purify worshippers from evil on the eve of Nyepi, the Hindu New Year, Balinese men carry Giant "Ogoh-ogoh" effigies symbolizing evil and then burn them in Kuta. Tourists and residents stay indoors to hold a day of reflection, free from daily routine in the entire island of Bali, as Indonesia's minority Hindu population marks Nyepi day in full solemnity.
