Kalimantan Barat Province Pavilion
Taman Mini Indonesia Indah.
(Beautiful Indonesia in Miniature Park), Jakarta, Indonesia.
Kalimantan Barat Province Pavilion. The picture is the rumah adat Baluk or the traditional vernacular house of the "Bidayuh", the collective name for several indigenous groups found in southern Sarawak and northern West Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo. The name "Bidayuh" means 'inhabitants of land'. Originally from the western part of Borneo, the collective name Land Dayak was first used during the period of Rajah James Brooke, the White Rajah of Sarawak. Bidayuh is classified in the Land Dayak-Klemantan stanmeras.
The replica is the Baluk from the sub-ethnic Dayak Bidayuh community in Dusun Sebujit Desa Hliboei, Kecamatan Siding, Kabupaten Bengkayang, Kalimantan Barat. Shaped circular, about 3.5 m in diameter with a height of approximately 12 m and refuted about 20 wooden poles and a few others as well as a wooden crutch pole is used as a bridge that resembles a ladder. It describes the position or height of Kamang Triyuh (perhaps a supreme spiritual being in their pagans and animistic belief) place that must be respected. The Baluk is the place where ancestral skulls are kept and the annual nibak’ng ritual, performed after the rice harvesting season, includes cleansing the skulls and other sacrifices during the festivity.
