| About Tana Toraja |
Located on the Sulawesi Island of Indonesia, Tana Toraja (Toraja Land) is a land of cultural beliefs and traditions. It is famous for its cave graves, hanging graves and life-sized wooden effigies. This is one of the few places which has still retained its traditional culture and architecture, and not just for the benefit of tourists.
Tana Toraja is also known as the Land of The Heavenly Kings.
Traditional ‘tongkonan’ houses can be seen set in the terraced rice fields in this culturally distinctive place. Tana Toraja is also known for its elaborate funeral rituals, these can go on for days. This is followed by burials in rock tombs. July and August comprise of the funeral season when Torajans working elsewhere return to their native land to take part in the processions.
Tana Toraja has mountain slopes and valleys with bamboo and sugar palm plantations. Prior to the Dutch rule, the place represented all its activities related to religious beliefs as "Aluk" which means "the way." Though today, Christians form the majority of population in Tana Toraja, all rituals and activities of daily life are still continued as in the past.
Due to its high altitude, Tana Toraja experiences a temperate climate with warm hot days and cool nights. March to September is the cool, dry season while the onset of monsoons is usually in October.
