By delving into specific practices like magedong-gedongan, this study aims to identify cultural factors contributing to improved maternal and child health outcomes. Hindu practices, such as magedong-gedongan, offer valuable prenatal education and socio-cultural bounding , while banten and prasadham provides nutritional guidance. Additionally, the ceremonial aspects and daily prayers contribute to optimal physical , psychological and mental well-being, essential for stunting prevention.
