The Torajans are an ethnic group indigenous to a mountainous region of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. They are known for their extensive death ceremonies which tend to be a lot different from our own rituals and even other Indonesian death rituals. Respecting and celebrating the dead don’t just mean giving them a proper burial – it also means living with them, long after their deaths and even past their funerals.   Connect with Nazar Malik: Say ‘Hi’ at: [email protected]   Chapters: 00:00 Opening 01:44 The history of Rambu Solo and Ma’nene 03:27 Rambu Solo.
