Tedhak Siten of Child Anggika Bolsterli, Preserve Javanese Culture

Actress Anggika Bolsterli held a tedhak siten ceremony for her first child named Arya. Anggika is known to be a mixed-blood artist of Swiss-Madiun descent, so Javanese 'blood' flows in her veins.

Therefore, Anggika's family held the tedhak siten ceremony that is usually performed by the Javanese community for newborns. As known, Anggika married Omar Armandiego in October 2024 and they have been blessed with a child named Arya who was born a year later.

KLovers, let’s take a look at the following photos!

This is a portrait of Arya, the child of Anggika & Omar, undergoing the tedhak siten ceremony. In Javanese tradition, tedhak siten means 'to step on the ground' or a ceremony to mark the child's first steps on earth.

This ceremony is held to pray for the child to grow independently, succeed, and be devoted. Tedhak siten also aims to shape the child's character to have self-confidence and resilience in facing life's challenges.

Several rituals in the tedhak siten ceremony include walking on seven-colored rice cakes, descending sugarcane stairs, entering a cage, and bathing in flower water.
