Rambu Tradisi
Rambu Tradisi is a traditional funeral ceremony practiced by the Toraja people in Indonesia. This elaborate ritual is not only a way to honor the deceased but also serves to strengthen community bonds. The ceremony can last several days and includes various rituals, such as animal sacrifices, music, and dance, reflecting the cultural beliefs of the Toraja regarding life and death.
During Rambu Tradisi, the deceased is often displayed in a special house called a tongkonan before being buried. The event attracts family members and friends from far and wide, emphasizing the importance of family ties and social connections in Toraja culture.
