Babaran Pusaka
That morning, Bangkit Sholahudin or known as Bangkit was opening a collection of several keris belonging to the previous hamlet’s leader. Every leadership period, the Head of Sawit Hamlet across generations always has a “tosan aji” as a form of representation of the depiction of every situation and condition. Considering that the keris has become a familiar object with the lives of Sawit residents, Bangkit as the current Head of Sawit hamlet tried to initiate the maintenance and preservation of the keris which has been on hiatus for a long time. Towards the afternoon, Bangkit Sholahudin met Mbah Jaman, one of the residents who had a keris but was not properly cared for. Finding these problems, Bangkit Sholahudin invited several residents to initiate a procession of “jamasan” within the scope of Sawit Hamlet in cooperation with the non-governmental organizations.

Wiwitan, a traditional ritual that is closely associated with Javanese culture, especially the farming community. This ritual uses the media of various foods as a symbol of hope to welcome the harvest period. It seems simple, but in fact the condition will have meaning. The farmer and his family will prepare various foods, then bring them to the rice fields to be harvested, then pray and eat them together. A ritual which its sustainability is threatened due to the impact of land conversion.
