Ogoh-ogoh is a sculptural work of art which is part of the rituals of the Hindu community in Bali. Ogoh-ogoh describe Bhuta Kala, namely the immeasurable and undeniable representation and power of the universe (Bhu) and time (Kala).

The youth of the village of Seminyak, Kajaan, made ogoh-ogoh with the theme "Murkaning Watugangga", which tells the story of the son of Hanuman who was born from the bottom of the sea. It is said that after the war against Ravana and the destruction of Alengka, Rama's troops returned to Ayodhya walking with a sense of day and pride. On the other hand, Hanuman returns to Ayodhya while carrying Sri Devi and flying across the Ocean.

On his way, a strong wind blew what the Goddess was wearing. As a result arises the desire of the Hanuman. Hanuman's kama fell into the middle of the ocean and was born by a big fish. The fish is a cursed Goddess. The fish finally became pregnant, and gave birth to a figure of a monkey with fish scales, the magic mandraguna was named Watugangga.

This is the story of the ogoh-ogoh with the theme "Mukaning Watugangga

Dikisahkan setelah peperangan melawan Rahwana dan hancurnya Alengka, para pasukan Rama kembali ke Ayodhya berjalan dengan rasa hari dan bangga. Disisi lainlain, Hanuman kembali ke Ayodhya sambil menggendong Sangat Dewi Sita terbang melintasi Samudra.

Dalam perjalanannya, angin kencang meniupkan yang dikenakan Sang Dewi. Akibatnya muncul hasrat Sang Hanuman. Jatuhlah kama Sang Hanuman ke tengah samudra dan dimakan oleh sosok ikan besar. Ikan tersebut merupakan Dewi yang dikutuk. Ikan tersebut akhirnya hamil, dan melahirkan sosok kera yang bersisik ikan, sakti mandraguna tersebut diberi nama Watugangga.
