At Ulun Danu Beratan Bedugul Temple, the gobogan will first be paraded around the area twice, then taken to the temple. This parade involved 12 traditional villages, six kelian villages in the Baturiti region, and two panebaya fathers. Apart from increasing visits, this parade aims to introduce Balinese culture to tourists.

"After the pandemic, tourist visits have increased, starting today we are holding a gebogan parade and in the future we will hold this parade every year as an effort to attract tourists to come to Bedugul," said Made. He continued, visits by foreign tourists (tourists) to the Ulun Danu Beratan Bedugul Temple have also increased.
