Fahombo: Digital Painting (8)
 |
| Fahombo |
Stone jumping on Nias Island is referred to as HomboBatu or Fahombo, and is a tradition that has been faithfully practiced and preserved for centuries. In ancient time young Nias male will try to jump over 2 metres high rock, and if they succeed they will become a man and able to join as a warrior for war and get married.
In modern times, the Fahombo tradition is not done in preparation for war, but rather as a ritual and symbol of Nias Culture. Youths who successfully achieve this skill are considered to have reached maturity and crossed from childhood into adulthood.
