Want to know about Tana Toraja Culture? Check out the following reviews
Tana Toraja Culture. Most people found the unique culture of Toraja lies in funeral ceremonies. This opinion is not appropriate for funerals with high degrees of elaboration exist everywhere, such as the funeral of Pak Harto, or funeral ceremonies in Bali and Sumbawa. Toraja communities with a population of about 400,000 people is a small ethnic group in South Sulawesi. Toraja people inhabit a mountainous area north of South Sulawesi province. Toraja become one of the main tourist destination in Indonesia because of its unique culture. Toraja cultural uniqueness lies in the beliefs and cultural practices that treat the living dead or not dead. And this is just happening and in Toraja.
When speaking of Toraja may not be endless. District within 350 km from Makassar is already being hunted tourists from various countries because of its cultural uniqueness. The area which is now divided into two districts namely North Toraja Tana Toraja and has become one of the tourist destinations are actively encouraged and supported the Minister of Tourism to get back into the second tourist destination in Indonesia after Bali. Tana Toraja tourism had reached its heyday before the Bali bombing, Toraja at that time became the region second most visited by foreign tourists after Bali. Nothing wrong there slogan "Do not Die Before to Toraja" because there are a lot of things in Toraja that probably will not find in other places Indonesia even in the world than in Toraja.
Toraja people have a belief system called Alukta. Alukta is the original religion of the Toraja been copied hereditary of ancestors. Of the total population of Toraja, only about 5% are still embraced this religion. They live scattered in several places in Toraja but basically mostly in the west Toraja, namely in the area Simbuang. Although adherents declining, this culture still practiced adherents of Catholicism, Protestantism and Islam. The views are basically derived from Alukta rationalized through the frame of mind the difference between religion and customs. In other words adherents of other religions accept custom but renew the religious aspect because it is considered idolatry.
Religion is often called Aluk Alukta Todolo to illustrate that this religion is the original creation of the ancestor of the Toraja. Knowingly or not, a view that is still embraced and practiced by almost all the people of Toraja is a view of life that spin (cycle). Humans come from the sky, down to earth - life on earth - and back again to the sky after going through a transformation. This view looks into all aspects of Toraja culture. For example, in the songs of sorrow (Badong) narrative moves in this theme: people born in the sky, down to earth and back again to the sky.
In the system of Toraja culture, Tau-Tau is one part of the procession of the culture that has been retained even though they have received other beliefs, including Christianity and Islam. Tau-Tau attitude confirms the values of the collectivity. Placement of Tau-Tau on the cliffs carved and facing east (Mount Sinaji) beneath which lay paddy fields intended as demand for the welfare of society. Ancestral spirits is expected to give fertility so that the rice harvest is successful, then people make offerings through certain rituals, which constitute an agreement between the Toraja people with their ancestors. Tau-Tau is the embodiment of their ancestors who were deemed to be living, they think that death is not essential for a human. So can I say. May be useful. thanks.
