During the pregnancy, Javanese people in general only celebrate two traditions,
such as Traditional Ceremony of Tradisi Nglimani (5 months of pregnancy) and Mitoni
(7 months of pregnancy). Tradition of Mitoni aims to requesting welfare and preventing
misfortune and disaster for the future baby and mother. Besides Mitoni, this tradition
is also named as Tingkeban. The equipments are as follows:
- Noble family:
The offerings: tumpeng robyong, tumpeng gundul, sekul asrep-asrepan, a living
chicken, a coconut, five types of porridge, and jajan pasar.
Kenduri: nasi majemukan, seven types of nasi with their side dishes, pecel ayam,
sayur menir, ketan kolak, apem, nasi putih, ingkung, nasi punar, ketupat, rujak
and dawet, emping ketan, flowery water, and tabonan coconut.
- Common people
The offerings: sego (=nasi) jangan, jajan pasar, jenang abang putih, jenang baro-baro,
emping ketan, tumpeng robyong, sego golong, sego liwet, and kembang telon.
Kenduri: sego gurih, nasi ambengan, jajan pasar, ketan kolak, apem, pisang raja,
sego jajanan, seven types of tumpeng, jenang, kembang boreh, and kemenyan.
Tingkeb means cover or shut, so the tingkeban is the last ceremony performed during the pregnancy until the baby is born. This ceremony is held when the pregnancy is seven months old (mitoni comes from pitu, seven) and attended by the pregnant woman, her husband, the relatives, the shaman, and ulama. There are some forbidden food for this ceremony: ikan gabus (widely eaten freshwater, snake-headed fish), meat of four-legged animals, eel, crab, durian and maja fruit.
This ceremony can be divided into two types:
1. Mitoni for the woman who is pregnant for the first time (first child), with
additional ceremony of siraman (bathe with flowery water)
2. Mitoni for the woman who is pregnant for the next (second, third, etc) child,
only performing the kenduri as mentioned above.

Malioboro oh Malioboro...
Dirimu semakin sumpek saja, makin banyak parkir motor. Saya punya saran untuk Pemerintah Kota dan Propinsi, coba dibuat parkir khusus di luar jalan Malioboro sampe Alun-alun Utara, jadi tidak ada kendaraan yang waton parkir meskipun tukang parkir ada. Jadi sepanjang jalan ...
