Ma'nene in Toraja

Family members take a group photo with Marta Duma who died in 2008 at age 75, and her husband, Toding, who died in 2013 at age 80.

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.
