Communities in Belitung Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands (Babel), are preserving the ruwahan tradition to welcome the holy month of Ramadan 1447 Hijriyah/2026.

“The ruwahan tradition was attended by hundreds of community members or worshippers at mosques,” it was reported.

The tradition serves as a means of reviving the spirit of welcoming Ramadan amongst the local population, maintaining cultural heritage whilst strengthening religious observance in the lead-up to the fasting month.
