Abstract

The Sajen Among tradition in the villages of Sekarpuro, Asrikaton, and Tanggung in Malang Regency is a Javanese cultural ritual rich in symbolic and spiritual meaning. This study examines its existence, its symbols, and its significance through a qualitative approach. Based on in-depth interviews with six informants across the three villages, the research reveals distinct definitions and purposes of Sajen Among in each community: in Sekarpuro, it serves as an offering to ancestral spirits; in Asrikaton, as protection for spiritual kin; and in Tanggung, as an expression of gratitude. The ritual elements such as coffee, water, rice, traditional snacks, betel leaves, tobacco, cigarettes, incense, areca nuts, whiting, and uncaria, each embody unique Javanese cultural values. Viewed through the lens of symbolic interactionism, the meaning of these offerings is constructed through social interactions, including grave pilgrimages and strict adherence to ritual protocols. Despite challenges to its preservation, such as stigmatization as “musyrik” and pressures of modernization, Sajen Among continues to endure as a vital expression of cultural and spiritual identity

Abstract

The Tiba Meka Weru tradition is a traditional ceremony for welcoming guests carried out by the people of Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara. This tradition aims to welcome important guests, such as government figures, community leaders and religious figures, with full respect and familiarity. The aim of the research on the Tiba Meka Weru tradition is to understand and describe in depth this unique tradition of welcoming guests in Manggarai society, as well as exploring the values contained in it. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with four key informants who come from Manggarai and live in Malang City. The research results show that overall, the Tiba Meka Weru tradition for the Manggarai student community in Malang is an effort to maintain and preserve Manggarai's cultural heritage amidst multicultural campus life. The tradition of "Tiba Meka" or welcoming guests in Manggarai (Flores) culture, which is also known as the tradition of welcoming guests, has a positive impact on increasing solidarity among the community. Through welcoming rites involving various stages and values such as openness, familiarity, and respect, this tradition effectively strengthens social relations and strengthens bonds between individuals in the community. Even though there are many challenges faced when implementing the tradition of arriving meka weru in Malang City, students from Manggarai still try to continue implementing this tradition in order to preserve their culture and introduce the traditions or culture in Manggarai to the wider community, especially the people in Malang City.
