IMAGE- Jeding source in Sidomukti Hamlet, Yosomulyo Village, Gambiran District, all this time it was sacred to the residents. Many of them hold rituals in that holy place.
This location is considered sacred by residents, newly built is quite magnificent. Besides the building is quite large with striking paint, at that location also built a statue of gandrung which is thick with a Buddhist atmosphere.
One of the local community leaders, Sumardianto, said that the source of the jajang was sacred to the local people as pepunden. Residents around the site, perform rituals in that place every time you carry out a celebration.
“Many people who marry off their children bring money with them (hot rice) go there,” he said. Although it has been frequently visited by residents with various purposes, it's clear, the source of jeding is still not popular. So that, residents who come only because they will have a celebration.
“We once proposed it as a religious tourism destination,” he said. At the source of that jeding, he continued, for Buddhists, every time they will celebrate the Vesak day, they staged the collection of holy water from seven springs, one of which is at the source of jeding. “The water in the Jeding source is holy water,” he said.
Head of Yosomulyo Village, Educate Kartika, revealed that the village government's efforts to raise the source of jeding actually already existed. His party has asked to compile a description of the original history of the source of jeding.
“Saya minta untuk digodok sejarahnya, biar ada dasarnya yang jelas,” he said. Menurut Didik, sumber Jeding itu situs yang disakralkan warga dusun, bukan warga penganut kepercayaan atau agama Budha saja, tapi juga warga dari agama lain.
Hal ini terkait dengan tradisi nyadran yang sudah berlangsung turun temurun setiap akan hajatan. It is just, tempat itu cukup ramai ketika ada kegiatan umat Budha. “Sumber jending itu milik semua agama, tempat itu biasa digunakan untuk nyadran,” strictly.
Didik berharap upaya menyusun sejarah sumber jeding bisa dilakukan dengan baik. Sehingga pijakan data dan sejarah pendukung bisa maksimal. “Belum kita angkat karena dasarnya belum ada. Dulu di lokasi itu milik kerajaan atau apa, itu masih dilakukan kajian,” he said. (radar)
