Before Nyepi (Bali's Day of Silence), the Pengerupukan ritual culminates in the Ogoh ogoh Parade, a vibrant procession featuring large, monstrous effigies that are carried through villages by local youths accompanied by loud music, chanting, and firecrackers to symbolically banish evil spirits. The parade begins in the evening and typically includes the ceremonial burning of the Ogoh-ogoh statues to signify purification and the triumph of good over evil before the island enters its 24-hour period of silence.

In Balinese Hinduism, Nyatur Desa is a sacred ritual performed in various villages, such as Desa Pakraman Ipah in Karangasem and Cau Belayu in Tabanan. This ceremony involves parading sacred effigies (prelingga), like Barong and Rangda, around the village to purify the area and invoke protection from negative energies. It's part of a broader tradition called Mecangcang, where these effigies are enshrined for 42 days in a temporary shrine outside the main temple. During the Nyatur ritual, offerings such as segehan agung and animal sacrifices are made to deities like Ida Bhatari Durga, seeking harmony and balance in the universe.
