ID 122394412 © Nhungbuocchan | Megapixl.com
This photo was taken in Tana Toraja, Sulawesi, Indonesia. Ceremonies are divided into rambu tuka, or smoke ascending associated with the east and life, and rambu solo, smoke descending west and death. A typical rambu tuka ceremony is the dedication of a new tongkonan. The biggest of all Torajan ceremonies are funerals, the epitome of a rambu solo occasion. Held over several days, it starts with the parading of the oval coffin. At the end of the first afternoon you’ll see buffalo fights.
