Hadjar Pamadhi

Ngunduh is a tradition followed by the communities in Karangbolong, Kebumen. There are several kinds of Ngunduh, and one of them is Ngunduh sarang burung walet (swallow’s nest). One of the processions includes cutting the buffalo’s head, since the communities believe that buffalo can be a strength for them, and that cutting its head can transfer the buffalo’s power to them as well as reinforce the community to face the problems in conducting Ngunduh sarang burung walet (swallow’s nest). The meat is also considered helpful in preventing disasters or dreadful things (known as Tolak Bala). The carameat (buffalo meat) is edible and cooked before consumption.
