Installing Bleketepe and Adri Martowardjojo's Adri Bath before Marriage, Complete Javanese Customs

Agus Martowardjojo offers a prayer before installing bleketepe in front of his house. Bleketepe is a sign that his family is holding a wedding celebration.

Accompanied by his family, Agus installs bleketepe at his house. He had to climb a chair to reach the yellow janur kuning arch installed in front of the gate.

In addition to installing bleketepe, Agus, accompanied by his wife, also installs tuwuhan. They do it under the guidance of Javanese traditional event organizers.

Behind this green cloth, there is a bunch of bananas which is part of the bleketepe and tuwuhan installed as a marker for the celebration.

As a conclusion, Agus places bucalan in front of the house gate. With the completion of this procession, the wedding celebration for Adri at Agus's house is ready to be held.

After installing bleketepe, Agus and his family entered the house and held a sungkeman ceremony. Before the pouring ritual, Adri asked for prayers and blessings from the family to ensure the smooth running of the event.

Not only asking for prayers, Adri asked for blessings from his father and mother by washing their feet, which is a sign of devotion to parents.

After washing his father's feet, Adri washed his mother's feet. With love, the Head of Digital Strategy and CRM FIF cleaned the feet of the woman who gave birth to him.

After the sungkeman ceremony, the pouring ritual was ready to begin. Adri was still wearing beskap while his mother and father prepared flower water to cleanse his body.

As the first pouring, Agus poured water onto Adri's body. Here, Adri has changed clothes and only wears flower decorations on the upper part of his body.

After the father, it's Adri's mother's turn to pour flower water. Here, Agus teases Adri, who laughs out loud at his father's behavior.

Other family members also pour flower water onto Adri's body. This pouring is to cleanse the bride's body before getting married.

After the pouring, Agus Martowardjojo and his wife throw the jug that was previously used to pour ablution water for Adri.

With both hands, Adri's parents guided him into the house. The siraman ceremony is over, ready for the next event.

After the siraman ceremony, Adri continued the event with bites from his parents. This is a sign of parental love before sending their child off to get married.

Agus Marto and his wife also held a session of selling rujak and dawet with kereweng as part of this siraman event.

The siraman ceremony is over. After this, Adri is ready to hold his wedding ceremony with Elsa Tadjudin.
