Ma'nene in Toraja

The bodies of the dead are taken out of their coffin to be dried under the sun and also cleaning and grooming.

Ma'nene is a tradition that takes place in August after harvest where the bodies of the dead loved ones are exhumed to be cleaned, groomed and dressed. For most, it's a bittersweet moment, a chance to reunite and physically see and touch and reconnect with loved ones who had passed on.
