Barong going around inner area
Barong animal mask dance, together with sanghyang dance are considered native Balinese dances, predating Hindu influences. The native Indonesians of Austronesian heritage often have similar mask dances that represent either ancestral or natural spirits.
This ritual is accompanied by traditional music and several dances.
Pengerebongan ceremony is also known as the Butha Yadnya Ceremony because it is done to maintain harmony between the universe and human.
When i joint the festival first time eight years ago, I'd much better oportunities to come to the Barong figure ver close.

Die Nahaufnahme von früher finde ich natürlich wsesentlich stärker. Aber wie das so ist, manchmal hat man mehr und manchmal weniger Glück.Zusammen ergeben beide Fotos dann den richtigen Eindruck.
