Outward conduct comprises the behaviors and actions that bind each resident of Kalikudi. It consists of two main behaviors known as “Punggahan” and “Pudunan.” “Punggahan” is a behavioral practice performed to prepare members of the association for the fasting month of Ramadan. “Punggahan,” often referred to as “nyadran” (the month of Sya’ban), involves a mass practice followed by association members. This involves a walking pilgrimage from Kalikudi to two significant locations, Daun Lumbung in Cilacap and Ki Bonokeling in Pakuncen, Jatilawang, Banyumas, which hold spiritual value for the community.
On the other hand, “Pudunan” is a mass behavior observed by the association after the fasting month of Ramadan. In simpler terms, “Pudunan” is the expression of gratitude by the community after a month of fasting. “Pudunan” takes place during the month of Shawwal and involves a walking pilgrimage along the same route as “Punggahan,” from Kalikudi to Daun Lumbung in Cilacap and Ki Bonokeling in Pekuncen, Jatilawang, Banyumas.
The primary spiritual behavior of the residents of Kalikudi is the “Resik Kubur” ritual (literally meaning “cleaning the graves”), which is conducted every Thursday (wage day) during the daytime and continued in the evening (Friday kliwon night) with the “Sungkeman” and “Setralan” rituals, followed by a communal discussion addressing current issues within the lives of the Kalikudi community. This ritual concludes with praise and shared prayers.
Thus, “Resik Kubur,” for the residents of Kalikudi, serves as a platform for transforming the morals and ethics of their ancestors into the present generation. Through spiritual practice, they aim to realize ethical and aesthetic behavior. (Adapted from “Adat Tradisi Anak Putu Kalikudi”).”
