Ngarot Tradition from Indramayu,west Java,Indonesia


The rainy season means the beginning of rice planting rituals and traditions were held to welcome him.

In Indramayu farmers held ngarot tradition with dozens of jajakan and paraded the village girls. The event is also used by the young - drive to find soul mate.

Dozens of girls in the village of Taman Sari, Indramayu, West Java was started preparing paraded around the village.

Brief flowers used as a headdress was normal, but still many people who believe this interest could prove virginity.

If interest in it quickly withered head means the girl was not a virgin anymore. Rather difficult ... but this myth is still believed to society since it was first performed ritual ngarot hundreds of years ago.

Ngarot itself is actually a ritual celebration of the farmers before the rice planting period diberainya. Inclusion of young - couple in this tradition as a form of regeneration is an agrarian society. After the parade the village elders handed rice seeds and farm tools to the young - drive.

The hope, of course, that young Kaun - couple this continuing agrarian culture. Despite the fact that more young people who chose to migrate to cities or .... than cultivating rice, but also means ngarot event for young people looking for soul mate - drive. Not infrequently diritual ngarot meeting continues to the altar.

Still a problem for the villagers, this tradition is the entertainment ngarot once a year. Residents can enjoy the show as much of traditional arts, such as mask dance, and wayang kulit tarlingnginan.
