A community in South Sulawesi, Indonesia has the shocking belief of welcoming the spirit of a dead person back to the village of his origin to pay their respect. They do this in rituals where they dig up the graves of their deceased loved ones, wash them, groom them and dress them up in fancy new clothes before walking them around in the village once every three years. They also repair or fix broken and damaged coffins.
The families in Toraja in South Sulawesi believe in welcoming the spirit of a dead person back to the village of his origin. And as a popular belief, they dig up the graves of their deceased loved ones, wash them, groom them and dress them up in fancy new clothes before walking them around in the village once every three years. After they dig them up they wash them and dress them in new clothes.
From babies to aged ones, corpses are exhumed by the families and given proper baths, grooming session and new clothes. They are then walked in straight lines around the village and buried again.
After the parade the corpses are buried again. More shocking photos on;
