The Toraja culture is an indigenous group located in the mountainous region of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Known for their elaborate funeral ceremonies, the Toraja people believe in a spiritual connection between the living and the dead. These ceremonies can last several days and involve traditional music, dance, and the sacrifice of animals, reflecting their deep respect for ancestors. Traditional Toraja houses, called Tongkonan, are characterized by their distinctive boat-shaped roofs and intricate carvings. The architecture symbolizes social status and is often decorated with symbols representing the family's lineage. The Toraja community places great importance on agriculture, particularly rice farming, which plays a vital role in their economy and cultural practices.
