Istiqlal siapkan rampak bedug pada malam takbiran
Istiqlal Mosque, the largest mosque in Indonesia, is gearing up for the celebration of Takbiran night by preparing a special performance of rampak bedug. Takbiran night, which falls on the eve of Eid al-Fitr, is a time for Muslims to gather and recite the takbir, or the declaration of the greatness of Allah.
Rampak bedug is a traditional percussion performance that involves the use of large drums called bedug. These drums are typically played during special occasions and religious events to create a festive atmosphere and enhance the spirit of celebration.
The Istiqlal Mosque, located in Jakarta, has a long-standing tradition of hosting special events and performances during the holy month of Ramadan and the Eid celebrations. This year, the mosque’s management has decided to showcase the art of rampak bedug as part of the Takbiran night celebrations.
The performance will feature a group of skilled drummers who will play a series of rhythmic beats on the bedug, creating an enchanting and powerful sound that will resonate throughout the mosque. The performance is expected to attract a large crowd of worshippers and visitors who come to the mosque to participate in the Takbiran night festivities.
The rampak bedug performance at Istiqlal Mosque is not only a celebration of the Eid al-Fitr holiday but also a way to preserve and promote Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage. The art of bedug playing has been passed down through generations and holds a special significance in Indonesian culture.
As the preparations for Takbiran night continue, the staff at Istiqlal Mosque are working tirelessly to ensure that everything is in place for a successful and memorable celebration. From decorating the mosque with colorful lights and banners to arranging for special food and drink offerings, every detail is being carefully planned to create a festive and welcoming atmosphere for all who attend.
So, if you find yourself in Jakarta during the holy month of Ramadan, be sure to visit Istiqlal Mosque on Takbiran night to witness the mesmerizing performance of rampak bedug and experience the joy and spirit of Eid al-Fitr in one of Indonesia’s most iconic mosques.
