Toraja people's culture

Londa is one of the favorite tourist attractions in Tana Toraja. This tourist attraction is a tomb located on a rock cliff. On the cliff, some caves function as tombs. In the cave, there are coffins and corpses, bones, and skulls that are hundreds of years old.

In addition, when visiting Londa, tourists will also be presented with the appearance of statues lined up on the edge of a rock cliff. These statues are often called Tau Tau by local people. The statue is none other than a statue of a corpse buried in Londa.

In addition to Londa, tourists can also find rock cliff burials at Kete Kesu. This place is only 4 km from Rantepao City. In addition to the cemetery, visitors can also see the Tongkonan traditional house which is the pride of the Toraja people. This traditional house is nothing but a temporary storage place for corpses before burial.

Those who have a degree or position in society will also get a high place in the cemetery. So are ordinary people. They are usually buried in the lower ranks.

In Toraja custom, when someone dies, there will be a traditional ceremony called Rambu Solo. This ceremony is a ceremony to honor the corpse before burial. This ceremony will be carried out when all family members of the person concerned are complete. In addition, the cost to perform this ceremony is also quite large because they have to slaughter a buffalo in the procession.

Sometimes, due to family reasons or insufficient funds for the ceremony, the corpse will be stored for years in the Tongkonan House. This shows that the Toraja people keep their traditions.
