Hollaaaaaaaa....
nice too meet you again, uhmmm long time no write
sorry for that, so much things to do here in my office.
Ok lets begin
now let me talk about something in my "Home" about Kampung Naga (Naga Village) in Tasikmalaya.
I tell you first that there is no "naga=Dragon" here. It is only a name there is no relation with that creature.
Naga was called by the citizens as someone who spread Islam religion there. He was Singaparana.
Singaparana was a follower of Sunan gunung Jati. He was commanded to go to the west and spread Islam until he arrived in that village. Villager called him as "naga".
Ok that is the simple story why it is called as kampung Naga. Now lets talk about thir culture. Kampung Naga originally is a part of sundanese. The culture is sundanese for sure, and their language is sundanese. Kampung Naga has unique things in the way of life. One of the way of life is they refused to be electricitied. The reason is their houses was made from wood and bamboos, they have a faith that electricity will burns their home.
Villagers also believe that there are so much power around them such as Ghost, magic, and other supranatural things. Villagers also keep their culture from globalization. They do not use any electric instrument. All the things in kampung Naga run traditionally. Interesting???
It is a good place for you who is stressed by daily life routinity such as working, school, and another activity in the city.
The location is not hard to reach. It is about 30 Km from Tasikmalaya and 90 Km from bandung. I can guarantee that you will be satisfied if you come here. Come here and feel the originality of Kampung Naga from Indonesia. :)
