Pukul manyapu has been an annual ritual, celebrated on every 7th day of the
month of Syawal in the Islamic calendar, or seven day after Idul Fitri. The
ritual, full of religious nuance, is packaged attractively and performed by
youths from both villages.
In the function, they are divided into two groups and will whip their
"opponents'" bodies with brooms, which will eventually cause wounds all over
their bodies. After the attraction, the bodies of all those participating in
the function will be anointed all over with coconut oil that has been
blessed with verses from the Koran.
The oil used has restorative power to heal the wounds, which will leave
absolutely no scars on the body.
