Nawu Sendang Selirang, is one of the traditions that is still preserved in Kotagede. This tradition is a celebration of Kotagede people who involve all layers of the local community. Men and women, young and old, poor and rich, all contribute to taking part. Nawu Sendang Selirang itself is a ritual to clean a large pond or spring in Javanese terms. Lasted in the Jumadil End of the Javanese calendar.
The procession begins with the preparation stages of
ubo rampe (offerings)
which are held at the Abdi Dalem Complex, which is in the
Pasarean Complex, Mataram. The next day, around nine o'clock in the morning, followed by a series of carnival events towards the courtyard of the Gede Mosque in Mataram. After the procession,
a procession of surrender or scoop was carried out on the draining officer.
When the court servant drains it, the
rayahan is held in the mosque yard or scrambles for snacks in the form of market snacks that decorate the ambers (culinary mountains). People believe
, if they
succeed in crawling or taking some of these snacks, they will get a blessing. In the
evening the all-night shadow puppet show was held, which was the end of the series of
Nawu Sendang Selirang processions.
Indeed, the purpose of the
Nawu Sendang Selirang procession or cleaning a large pool in the
Kotagede Mataram Grand Mosque Complex is just a symbol of cleanliness. Clean the spring as a place to clean yourself. So that when it
is cleaned up, the heart must also
be prepared cleanly and culminate in the
cleanness of the life of the world that
is lived. In addition, there are also many noble values that can
be extracted from this procession. Such as the values of harmony,
mutual cooperation and tolerance between
local residents.
This kind of culture and tradition must be preserved as the identity of a nation.
Because in the digital era, new cultures such as secularism, hedonism and consumptive culture are easy to enter, especially among youth. The
internet and gadgets provide a lot of access and convenience to communicate or exchange information without limited space and time.
The digital young generation must be able to control
the presence of technological sophistication, not even sink into it. It is
truly unfortunate when the development of technology is
progressing but
it is not balanced with
concern to introduce and preserve the cultures we have.
The presence of technology like the internet can actually be used by the digital younger generation in preserving culture. With the
internet, the digital young generation can share uploading information about various cultural, historical, or traditional ritual processions. The young generation of digital can also upload videos
both about the art of regional music, traditional dances, or various traditional ceremonies.
In addition to providing understanding and knowledge and love of culture, it can also arouse the interest of tourists to visit. Some methods of using technology such as this are only a small part of efforts to preserve culture and the noble values of the nation.
There are still many creative and innovative ways
that can be done by the digital young generation to preserve culture. Take advantage of technology for something that is efficient and does not harm others.
Our culture and noble values will be maintained if we
are able to synergize between technology and culture and noble values.
So as to make the Indonesian nation able to compete with other nations in
the use of technology and excel in the preservation of culture and noble values of the nation. So be a digital young generation who loves culture.
