Portrait of Luna Maya's Siraman Before Marriage, Using Javanese Customs - Praying for Children and a Happy Life

Luna Maya offered a prayer before the siraman ceremony took place. One of her prayers was to ask for offspring and a happy family. "Oh Allah, grant us good descendants, who are devoted to You, obedient to their parents, and useful for religion, nation, and state," said Luna.

Maya village, Luna's mother, mixed water from 7 sources and 7 types of flowers. The water was taken from Luna's house, her paternal grandmother's house, Luna's office, her mother's house, a mosque, and also from the venue where the wedding ceremony will take place.

At the moment of the siraman, Luna looked beautiful in a jasmine dress. Meanwhile, her sister-in-law and mother wore dusty pink kebayas.

The first siraman was performed by Luna's mother, guided by the wedding coordinator. Luna's mother, who is of Austrian descent, followed the coordinator's instructions smoothly.

Luna's mother performed the initial pouring ceremony completely. Starting with pouring water over both shoulders, which signifies that Luna can bear the burdens of life well. This was followed by pouring water over her head, so she can think with a cool head.

After that, Luna kissed her mother's cheeks and hands as a sign of affection and also devotion as a child. This process went smoothly and solemnly.

Finally, her mother poured water from a jug over Luna's entire body without interruption, ending with Luna performing ablution. After that, Desa Made broke the jug used to pour water over Luna, as a sign of breaking her daughter's 'pamor' before marriage.

After breaking the jug, the wedding organizer mentioned that Luna's first child is likely to be a boy. This was indicated by the broken pieces of the jug that Desa Made shattered. Hearing this, Luna laughed.

After all the rinsing ceremonies were completed, Desa Made cut Luna's hair. Later, Luna's hair will be combined with Maxime's hair and buried, so that bad things are buried and good things grow.

The final ceremony of this rinsing is the carrying of the bride performed by her two older siblings. They all laughed during the carrying ceremony, which was quite a distance.
