Performed during festivals, these "giants" are operated by dancers inside or around them, creating an impressive visual spectacle. The dance often symbolizes community stories, spiritual beliefs, or historical events, blending dance, music, and craftsmanship. It serves as a cultural expression that fosters community identity, preserves traditions, and celebrates heritage, reflecting deep-rooted social and spiritual values within local communities.
