Ma'nene in Toraja

Ditha's parents, Ruslin and Adi, pose for a photo after putting on a new dress for their daughter. Ditha suddenly passed away from an illness four years ago when she was just 1yr old.

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.
