Every year our neighbours make a monster for nyepi in front of the house - here's a timelapse sequence of last year's monster. They make them for the ogoh-ogoh procession which takes place every year in Bali and is believe to ward off the evil spirits. This happens on the eve of nyepi before the island begins meditation.
Note that the whole of Bali also shuts down for a whole day for nyepi! Be warned! In 2013, nyepi will fall on 13th March! Bali is also the only place in the world which shuts down its international airport for 24 hours for a religious and spiritual holiday - crazy but true! Enjoy nyepi and enjoy Bali!
