  • Indonesia, Sulawesi. Buffalo sacrificing. <br />
<br />
The most important ceremony in Tana Toraja is a funeral, because of the beliefs, that without proper funeral rites the soul of the deceased will be not only enter the second life, but also will bring a misfortune to the whole members of the family.<br />
Although Torajan funeral tradition can vary depending on a particular village, a typical ceremony lasts for 4 days. The first day is a procession, during which the deceased is visiting the whole village. Second day it's "receiving", when all the guests arrive and are welcomed by the family members. The third day is the most bloody, because of the buffalo slaughtery (the Torajans believe that the animals should follow people in the second life). On the fourth day the body is taken to the grave.
