The Begalan tradition is incorporated into a series of wedding ceremonies in Banyumas to get rid of negative energy and ask for salvation from God, Sunday (1/7/2018). In the process, a number of traditional cooking tools were loaded with meaning, especially for the bride and groom.

Every society believes in salvation, not only in the afterlife but also in everyday life. Salvation can be obtained through faithfulness in maintaining traditions, such as those developed by the people of Banyumas, Central Java.

A traditional set of cooking equipment was carried by a man dressed in black. He was accompanied by two old men carrying large machetes made of wood. They danced in the front row to accompany a bride and groom sitting on a horse-drawn carriage to the wedding venue.
