The Day of Silence or Nyepi in the Balinese calendar of Saka 1945 falls on Wednesday, 22 March 2023. Over the last three decades, a parade of ogoh-ogoh (evil-looking hulk effigies) has always marked this holiday on the day of pengrupukan, a ritual on the eve of Nyepi.

The COVID-19 pandemic halted this parade for two years. However, this year the parade will be resumed. What is the relationship between ogoh-ogoh and Nyepi?
