My province of Aceh can be said to be one of the provinces that is rich in various kenduri traditions. Almost every month, both in the Hijri and Gregorian calendars, there is a handuri. For us, the people of Aceh, khanduri means eating together while strengthening ties. This is done with the aim of expressing gratitude for the grace or blessings that have been received from the creator.
Hello, my friends, I'm back in this wonderful community to share some more images about Aceh. My province boasts a diverse array of traditions and customs that I personally believe are worthy of sharing with the community on this platform.
My friends...
As part of our culture, khanduri has become integral to every aspect of our Acehnese lives. Consequently, almost every activity, both individual and group, begins and ends with khanduri. According to the community, khanduri is performed in every form of gratitude, as well as in every misfortune. Therefore, khanduri should be maintained and preserved because it remains consistent with its meaning and purpose: fostering friendship and a sense of togetherness in the implementation of gratitude to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And on this occasion, I would like to share some images I captured during the khanduri after completing the Intat Linto Baroe custom and tradition, which I shared a few days ago on my previous blog.
As I mentioned earlier, various khanduri traditions exist in Aceh, and the one I'm sharing this time is one of them, named khanduri, after the custom and tradition of Intat Linto Baro.
This khanduri tradition has been practiced for a long time and is still preserved today and is a community activity carried out after someone's wedding. I personally feel that this khanduri is able to unite and even strengthen the unity of the community in the area. This khanduri clearly demonstrates how togetherness and integrity are created, an atmosphere full of harmony, sincere handshakes, jokes with each other, and enjoying food together, as you can see in some of the images I've shared above. There, we can see the most important point: this khanduri has an impact on uniting young people in the village. All my comrades, seen above, helped and supported each other to make the khanduri event held by one of the extended families of the newlyweds a success.
Not only young people, this khanduri is able to unite the elderly in the village and strengthen the unity of the community in the environment, where this picture clearly shows several people helping each other and sharing their respective tasks, this time I went to the dishwashing place after the meal together and there were seen and there were several people in the village who could be said to have become parents in the village who also helped to make the event held by one of the families of the newlyweds a success, so this momentum also became a symbol of the unity of the young community with the elderly in maintaining peace in the village, at the same time this momentum is also very suitable for village officials to convey inspiration to the young people in their village.
This khanduri clearly demonstrates the sense of togetherness and unity created, with an atmosphere filled with harmony and banter, as well as the enjoyment of the food served together, as seen in the several images I've shared above. I hope these images can convey the atmosphere I experienced during this event to you all through the images I've captured.
For me personally, this was an extraordinary, warm moment with the rural community.
It also became a very valuable moment and memory in my life.
Those are some images and short writings from me for this meeting. I hope you all enjoyed and were entertained by what I shared. I also personally express my gratitude to all of you who have taken the time to stop by and read my blog until the end. Please leave comments, support, or input from you, which are very valuable to me so I can create a better blog in the future.
That's all for this meeting.
Greetings everyone.
See you on my next blog.
