Rambu Solo

Rambu Solo (KAPA RAMPANAN '): TRADITIONAL WEDDING CEREMONY Tana Toraja

            Hearing the name Tana Toraja people call, I thought, might as well thought most people would be 'escorted' to the grave stones in the high cliffs, the Signs Solo or customary funeral ceremony Tana Toraja where the famous family of the deceased to make a ceremony as a final mark of respect for their brother who had died or to tongkonan, Tana Toraja tribal house that resembled a buffalo's horn. I was wrong. Culture of Tana Toraja are loaded custom istidat much more diverse than all that I imagined. As soon as I know from Acok, my friend."Never heard signs Tuka or Rampanan Kapa," he asked.The question I answered with a shake. All my life this is the first time I heard the call. Acok explained that signs Tuka or Rampanan Kapa is customary wedding Tana Toraja, his hometown, which is as unique as the arts other than the area already known the sort of Signs Solo, grave stones and tongkonan. Is unique, because some things about the wedding was just the same and not be found anywhere else.The first is the uniqueness of the bridal couple in Tana Toraja are not endorsed by religious leaders as in most areas, but by customary leaders and There 'highly respected there. Marriage in Tana Toraja is an agreement that an agreement approved by the government before the customs and the whole family. Following this agreement, there are rules and laws as sanctioned in marriage."But in these days, many couples who combine both.Continue to perform their customary wedding after attending a wedding ceremony in the church. "Said Acok.

            I'm more interested in the story about the signs Tuka Acok or Kapa Rampanan this. Acok With the new spirit week ago to return home to attend a cousin's wedding this explains away there are three kinds of custom wedding there. The first is Bo'bo 'Bannang or weddings that take place at night in a small way or mediocre.Attended several invitations and two or three men from the bridegroom as a witness in the introduction as well as the wedding. His name is also a simple feast, the guests were treated with a simple side dishes as well as fish and the two chickens.

            Next is Rampo Karoen atu-style wedding party or middle-class people who are economically better in Tana Toraja. In marriage held in the afternoon, the little rhyme-rhyme recited marriage. In the evening ie on the eve of a banquet, representatives of both parties, bridal men and women listen to the provisions of the customs or Tana bride.The latter is Rampo Allo, marriage according to custom supreme staratanya Toraja. Usually the implementation of Rampo Allo far longer than two previous marriages.Jamuannya are pigs and chickens are more numerous.

I know it's a new day, the best friend Acok did have blue blood as well. So that I conclude from the story that much more to discuss the Allo-style wedding Rampo. When I ask it padaya, with her ​​blushing face justifies it.

            Pre wedding procession continues with Allo Rampo family, Acok said was 'mugged' by a large family there as one of the delegates to the candidate Palingka Kada cousin's wife. Want refused, he was not in the mood, let alone this moment once in a lifetime and when the whole extended family get together.

Kada Palingka carried by messengers groom before the wedding was held which aim to get acquainted. Such as pre wedding procession of other regions in Indonesia, the introduction of two families, family men and women   This is necessary because the marriage is essentially not only unites two beings alone, but also unites the two great families and this is important.Besides acquainted. Opportunity is also used messengers prospective groom to dig as much information as possible about the prospective bride.Especially if he is still single or had no bond with another person or even already be a man's wife.   After making sure that she is indeed single, then disampaikanlah their intentions, that is the good intention to propose to the woman of their brothers (the prospective bridegroom). When a good response is received, then the pre-style wedding procession Allo Rampo it could proceed to the second stage, which means that Umbaa Pangngan betel organize and deliver the proposal.

            Umbaa Pangngan done by sending some men and women to the prospective bride to carry betel proposal is placed in a special container that is Solong (areca sheath). Conductivity is directly delivered to the mother or grandmother of the woman. The submission of this Solong not once, but three times in a row with Different messenger every time of delivery. The first submission made ​​by three women and a man from the prospective groom as official statements apply. Furthermore, the messenger of the men would come back as many as eight people waiting for an answer as a statement that the proposal has been submitted. Final commissioning in Umbaa Pangngan continues to send twelve men from the groom as a sign that the application has been received and messengers came again on behalf of the family to discuss the time and date of marriage.

Next in the procession of pre wedding there Urrampan Kapa Rampo Allo 'which means families of men and women discuss Tana'marriage is determining the penalty to be imposed on both the future bride after marriage if the acts committed in violation of marriage. So it was a kind of pre-wedding agreement.   Might be a bit tight, but the agreement or Kapa 'is ultimately protect both parties as well. This is another unique story that I noted from Acok about Tana Toraja culture. So, not only those of modern western civilization course with them, yes that has an agreement before menikahm Tana Toraja tribe too. Even for a long time anyway.

Pong Rumasek bodies found lying under the trees. Pong Rumasek find the remains neglected and only the bones remained disenfranchised. Feel pity, Pong rumasek finally decided to take care of the body he could. The bones wrapped Pong Rumasek with clothes she wore. After that, the body is placed in the area is roomy and decent.

The bodies were found in the store in the appropriate place, so Pong Rumasek continue the hunt. Not unexpectedly, after the incident Pong biantanag Rumasek always get a great game every time you hunt. Since then, Pong Rumasek and public bodies Baruppu glorify the ancestors, figures, and kerbata with Ma'Nene ritual.

In Ma'nene rituals are unwritten rules that bind citizens. For example, if a wife or husband dies, bereaved couples should not get married before doing Ma'Nene procession.

When Ma'Nene ritual lasts, the nomads Baruppu origin are scattered across the country will return home. Homecoming is intended to honor his ancestors. Baruppu public trust, if not held Ma'Nene rituals, ancestors will stop maintaining them. not only unfortunate, but also disease will emerge.
