Nyangku Tradition In Ciamis: Preserving Heritage And Boosting Local Economy
Indigenous people carry water during the Nyangku traditional procession in Ciamis Regency, West Java, Indonesia, on September 18, 2025. The Nyangku tradition, or the tradition of washing heirlooms left behind by the Panjalu Kingdom of Prabu Sanghyang Borosngora, is held once a year on the last Monday or Thursday in the month of ''Maulud'' on the Islamic calendar. This tradition not only maintains cultural practices but also boosts religious tourism visits and stimulates the local economy.
