BANYUMAS CULTURE
Banyumas (Javanese: ꦧꦚꦸꦩꦱ꧀, formerly spelled
"Banjoemas") Regency is a regency (Indonesian: kabupaten) in the
southwestern part of Central Java province in Indonesia. Its capital is the
town of Purwokerto. It covers an area of 1,335.30 km2.
The term Banyumasan is also used as an adjective
referring to the culture, language and peoples of the wider Banyumas area,
equivalent to the pre-independence Banyumas Residency. The language of
Banyumasan is of Austronesian origin, and is usually considered to be a dialect
of Javanese. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banyumas_Regency)
In the life of
society, there is still an assumption that nature has the power that can
influence their lives, both positive and negative influences.
Therefore, humans
approach or communicate with nature by offering offerings, worship, rituals,
etc. in the hope that nature will generously give them the opportunity to live
sustainably.
Within the framework
of this approach, humans often use the media in ceremonies to achieve their
goals. It is through this art activity that the community performs certain
rituals which are meaningful as a form of offering of the whole body and soul
to the Creator. (https://map-bms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seni_lan_Budaya_Banyumas)

are the cultures and arts that are still developing in Banyumas.
