My Daughter Chandra's Nelu Bulanin (3 month old ceremony)

Ceremony 05.05.2008
The most important part of the nelubulanin ceremony, where the baby is held over a flat water-filled clay bowl representing the 'pond of life'. This bowl contains things that will be important for the child in later life:
an inscribed lontar leaf representing intelligence & wisdom
uang bolong representing wealth
grains of rice and kernels of corn representing industriousness and diligence
gold and silver jewellery representing the need for desire
objects woven into the shape of aquatic animals to bring to life the symbolic pond.



What the baby grabs with her right hand will be bestowed upon her in abundance in later life.
Then bracelets are put on her hands and feet, a ring on her finger and chain around her neck. A token meal of rice is then fed to her, this being the first time that the baby has been given any 'solid' food.

The roster cage symbolising a mountain. Parents want to guide their child
to make their dreams as high as the mountain and to work hard for their parents,religion,and country.
