The Barong represents the good spirit or someone’s ‘gardian angel’ that accompanies every person during his live.In the Barong dance the lion (the good spirits) fights against his opposite called Rangda. Rangda represents evil.Barong dances will typically be performed during the Galungan festival, but will also be performed when there is illness or misfortune in the village. The villagers believe that they will chase the bad things from their village by performing this dance. This is still common practise in every day life in Bali.
