risis risis1977 Friday, May 15, 2009 11:05:48 PM

Is there anything beside that?..
Kinda a big ship that made from paper and the folks begun to burn it out..... To signed that bad spirits has gone.. And they celebrated tha moment every year.. At lunar calender..or Chinese year.. Thats ceremony from Bagansiapi api.. In Kepulauan Riau..
I'd love to see it.. B'coz my friends are chinese..
What do you think?..up.

indatyas Friday, May 15, 2009 11:50:12 PM

of course,ris.but not the same with the chinese tradition,l love it too.
it may open with kind of tradition music..called marawis,robana.then,fire some firecrackers(petasan),say welcome to the guests or visitors.after that we're all see the ondel-ondel show...
its so fantastic...yes,have a festifal that held every year,on june.its the event of jakarta's birth...but we also cn see the ondel2 in other event,such as, wedding,penganten sunat,etc.

long time ago,betawi community,believe in magic...so to protect the community from black magic and afflictions,they made two big puppet symbolize the spiritual protection provided by the ancestors of betawi population.they believed that the puppet kept them from the black magic...
