This unique ceremony, held annually on the 1st of Muharram (the Javanese New Year), is a powerful way to cleanse oneself of negative energies and misfortunes. It is believed that by participating in Ruwatan, one can start anew, free from the burden of past mistakes and obstacles.

Picture this: dozens of people dressed in white, standing in a line, as a dalang (traditional Javanese puppet master) blesses them with flower water. This is just a glimpse of the Ruwatan ritual, an immersive experience that combines ancient Javanese customs with spiritual beliefs.

Rooted in Javanese animism, Ruwatan is a centuries-old tradition that offers a unique perspective on spirituality and personal growth. The ritual involves a series of symbolic acts, such as prayers, offerings, and a symbolic cleansing bath, all aimed at releasing negative attachments and inviting positive energy into one’s life.

But what makes Ruwatan truly special is its connection to Javanese culture. The ceremony often features traditional music, dance, and wayang kulit (shadow puppetry) performances, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Java.

For the uninitiated, participating in Ruwatan can be a daunting task. That’s where Java Private Tour comes in. Our team of experienced and knowledgeable guides will walk you through every step of the ritual, ensuring a meaningful and culturally enriching experience.
