Mount bromo and Tengger mountains not only famous for the beauty of the landscape. Culture of the people who inhabit it Tengger has for a long time was a "tour" of the living. A such ritual, diamonds.
Diamonds, after a year start universe mid-October, rather than a series of solemn ritual or ceremonial Pawedalan. Gamelan Ketiplung accompany the departure ceremony of purification of the legacy of the ancestors remains, Sukapura Ngadisari village, Probolinggo, East Java, a sacred place for the citizens.
Shaman Ngadisari, Sutomo, led the local oldest and the village marched past the village streets. Inheritance of Kris, Spears, also old money in ritual baths purified swell. Children and adults with the best outfit was solved in the procession.
Karo is a sacrifice to the deceased ancestors, both ancestors and ancestor of the founder in the vicinity of the Tengger. The ancestors of the Didewatakan it is already in the bromo crater. The most important festive ritual is seven, namely to call the ancestor spirits go Tekaning ping home. This ceremony can be of two weeks.
However, this is fixed the check only to ancestors. The ceremony was essentially ceremonial Pawedalan of the universe, we commemorate the birth of the universe. Referred to the ceremony, because the check jodhpurs in check, according to the calendar creation was, said Sutomo Tengger."
The public about the natural, Tengger, including Mount bromo, important. Good attitude towards nature is a part of their faith.
There are to ensure three things. "First definitely sang Hyang Widi along their appearance, i.e. the gods and the God." Both the ancestors. "He told the three ancestors of the Ngaluhur or the ancestors of the Tengger."
Which is in line with the veneration of ancestors reminds Tengger universe hang on that. They believed that the ceremony was also a tribute to the mountain, as also Kasada ceremony offered a sacrifice which is directly on the mountain.
Less well known
Although not as large as Karo Kasada, this ceremony is very important. For an indicator is whether a person is still in the Tengger or not. However, the ceremony is still alien to the ears of tourists.
For the inhabitants of which is Tengger diamonds a, that is desired. Kemeriahannya similar Lebaran for Muslims. If a door is painted body open to all, mutual visits and entertain. Not only entertain the neighbors and relatives, but also maintain the ancient spirits was recalled.
"The day we go all inhabitants of the House to eat in check." This old tradition. The guests of pass all us offer, that you time past. , It was Adatnya, "Moyo, Jetak said residents not the preamble."
The word Moyo is not an invention. The hospitality of the citizens are always come who want diamonds tourists. However, the concept of cultural tourism, based on tradition and hospitality of the citizens, it directly to the tourism industry is not. In contrast to other villages on the mountain, directly involved in tourism industry around the charm of nature was, that's more commercially calculated with rupiah all.
Rely on nature
The culture and the ritual of own loses nor view the Tengger in Bali compared. A young tourist from Netherlands, Ghonick, said to the bromo for the desire to see, the beauty of the rising sun and the beautiful scenery of the mountains.
On the basis of the village of Ghonick Tersengal Ngadisari, Atem-Out excited after reaching the Summit of the Tengger Penanjakan II., immortalized the sun rising over the surrounding caldera.
In addition to the natural beauty, Ghonick also, claims to know that there aren't many other details of the bromo. Various indigenous and ritualistic society Tengger not in the reference. In contrast to Balinese is a combination of cultural attractions and natural charm name in her mind.
Industrial tour of East Java, Haryono Gondosoewito, speaking, far more tourist industry sells natural charm, such as such as bromo bromo Caldera and the beauty of the sunrise on Penanjakan Hill. Brochures-tourism brochure called even sunrise at bromo as one of the three most beautiful moment, sunrise in the world. From Penanjakan, tourists can see the Summit of Mount Batur, Gunung bromo crater and the Summit of Mount Semeru in the distance.
Landscape bromo Tengger pamper the eyes with a wide range of beauty indeed. So, entering a car of Berselimut immediately refreshing the bromo Gardan, rolling hills of green sheets double eyes. Wave Hill "Carpet" as green
The Teletubbies. Riding a sea-sand are there next. A gust wind mountain carved from a single pattern on the sand. It is a sea of sand track bromo crater.
Various restrictions
The potential perpetrator tours in bromo, including culture, is difficulty in lifting as its market assessment weak. In fact, there are tourists interested in culture, which is derived usually from Europe. However, the quantity is irrelevant.
The policy of the Government to the bromo assessed also inadequate, because there are three districts concerned against tourist areas. "A policy, the approval of the three districts, are so difficult to make", said Haryono, the former Chairman of the Association of corporate travel Indonesia (Asita).
In addition, residents seemed to assume not, tourists have been prepared. Accommodation prices, is available for example often without standards. Anna and Ben, a tourist from Germany, to feel such as betrayed. You pay for the hotel more expensive than the normal fare. "We are the night got bromo so that questions can be set up." It turns out the after we, we compared pay its price more, Anna said.
Visitors were excluded from the tour vehicle. The choice by foot or rent horses, motorbikes or Jeep.
Services carry tourists lure, operator of the means of transport is often give misleading information. It says for example, the distance to a very remote location and difficult vehicle vehicles require a private rental. Sometimes the fare is expensive. Rent a jeep for 30 minute back and return of 300,000 RP.
But the location, Bromo, East Java, tourism magnet. Haryono said that in the era of annual travel fair, perpetrators attempt to introduce Java tourism destinations are new to the tour operators from different countries. Travel agencies from various countries will be asked but always to the bromo.
Unfortunately a mainstay in the bromo only landscape. Attention escapes hospitality and cultural uniqueness.(Indira Permanasari/Ahmad Arif)
