View of Goa Pawon during Puhun Pusaka Karatuan procession on 19 May, 2021 at Goa Pawon, Gunung Masigit, West Bandung Regency, Indonesia. "Puhun Pusaka Karatuan" is a process of asking for blessings from the ancestors as well as procession for handing over weapons (heirlooms) to their descendants. According to the elder of Goa Pawon or Pawon Cave in english, H. Elan Sumarna, in ancient times Goa Pawon was used as a place of pilgrimage for pencak silat warriors. To master the science of pencak silat the descendants of previous ancestors must be trained to truly master their knowledge. When it is felt that they are able to use women's equipment as martial arts weapons, the ritual of handing over the heirloom is carried out. Now this tradition is trying to be preserved again by Sundanese cultural observers such as Nanu Munajar Dahlan.
