Balinese men parade a giant effigy of a mythical animal which later will be burned during a traditional mass cremation ceremony called “ngaben” on a beach on Friday, July 29, 2022, in Padangbai, Bali, Indonesia. Balinese believe that cremating the dead liberates their souls, allowing them to enter the higher world to reincarnate into better beings. (Photo by Firdia Lisnawati/AP Photo)
