DISHARMONIS side

1. BANTENGAN

"Bantengan is a traditional cultural performance art from East Java that combines elements of dance drama, martial arts, music, and chants/spells imbued with a mystical atmosphere. This art becomes particularly captivating during the trance stage, where the performer holding the Bantengan head becomes possessed by the spirit of the Banteng (Dhanyangan) ancestors. The Bantengan art form has existed since the Singasari Kingdom era, during which it took the form of a dance where the dancers wore Bantengan head masks."

2. MANGANAN

"Manganan derives from the word 'mangan,' which in Javanese means 'to eat.' However, manganan here is not merely about consuming food; it is more of an event for gathering, sharing stories, and strengthening relationships among residents. The manganan tradition is usually held in conjunction with specific events, such as religious holidays, harvest seasons, or religious activities.

In Gegunung Hamlet, manganan is held to commemorate sedekah bumi, an act of gratitude to the Almighty for providing the bounty of the earth that sustains human life, as the majority of Gegunung residents are farmers. This event is regularly conducted three times a year on each Monday Pahing.

The manganan procession begins with preparations by all the hamlet's residents. From preparing traditional dishes to cleaning the event venue, everything is done with enthusiasm and cooperation. After the preparations, when the designated time arrives, the residents gather at the prepared location."
