Thanksgiving together

Farmers in the Aceh area have a tradition that has been carried out for a long time, namely doing ganduri together in the rice fields after finishing planting rice. This tradition is still maintained today as a form of togetherness and gratitude for the harvest that has been obtained.

After finishing planting rice, the farmers will gather in the rice fields to do kanduri together. They brought food that had been prepared by each family and placed it on mats in the middle of the rice fields. The atmosphere in Ganduri became lively with laughter and light chat between farmers. They shared stories about their experiences while planting rice and hoped that this harvest would provide abundant results.

Apart from being a gathering place, kanduri together in the rice fields is also a moment to unite enthusiasm and determination in facing the challenges that will come. Farmers provide support and encouragement to each other so that they can go through the harvest season smoothly and successfully. They prayed together that the weather would always support rice growth and that this harvest would produce abundant results.

The tradition of kanduri together in the rice fields is not just a ritual, but also contains deep meaning for farmers. They learn to work together and help each other in facing any difficulties that may arise. Apart from that, the togetherness in the joint ganduri also strengthens the feeling of brotherhood between them.

With the tradition of kanduri together in the rice fields, farmers in the Aceh region not only get abundant harvests, but also togetherness and burning enthusiasm. They learn to be grateful for what they have obtained and prepare to face the challenges that will come. This tradition will continue to be preserved by the next generation so that the togetherness and spirit of farmers is well maintained.
