Carrying a Giant Fish

Ogoh-ogoh are giant sculptures of various creatures, including mythical creatures, animals, figures, or other objects. These ogoh-ogoh are typically carried and paraded by large groups at carnivals and parades. These fish ogoh-ogoh are created by rural communities who rely on aquaculture as their primary source of income, and therefore, fish are a symbol of pride.
