Giant Effigy Festival In Jakarta

A participant wears a Hanoman costume, a powerful white monkey figure in Balinese Hindu mythology, who is worshipped as a symbol of loyalty, courage, and devotion in upholding goodness, during an Effigy festival in Jakarta, Indonesia, on March 8, 2026. The effigy festival commemorates Nyepi Day (Day of Silence) for Balinese Hindus in Indonesia, where they abstain from all activities for reflection, meditation, and self-purification. The giant effigy in Hindu belief symbolizes the evil which must be resisted and destroyed. (Photo by Aditya Irawan/NurPhoto)
