People parade a giant effigy of a mythical animal and a ceremonial tower containing the remains of 117 people that later will be cremated, during a traditional mass cremation procession called "ngaben" on Friday, July 29, 2022 in Padangbai on the island of Bali, Indonesia. Balinese believe that cremating the dead liberates their souls, allowing them to enter the higher world to reincarnate into better beings. (AP Photo/Firdia Lisnawati)
