I have never come directly to the city of Ponorogo to see this festival, but on one occasion when I was in the capital city of Jakarta I have seen this Ponorogo Reog dance. This memory happened about 20 years ago when I was invited on vacation with my big family, at that time I was still a junior high school student.

Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
There are many festivals in our country which are centered around a city or a village but they are not less in splendor and tradition. Hundreds of people also flock to celebrate them, and spontaneously participate to complete the festival. One such popular festival is the Riog Festival in Ponoroga. Which is celebrated as the anniversary of the establishment of this city. Since you are so curious about the festival that you enjoyed 20 years ago, it must be a great and enjoyable festival. I pray that you can enjoy this event very soon. Keep the best work.

Thanks for the comment, have a nice day.
Honorable sir,,
Your are most welcome 💖
Un factor agradable que poseen muchas festividades a nivel mundial erradica en lo cultural. ¿Quieres conocer realmente una ciudad, estado, pais, tratar de experimentar algo que este relacionado con la cultura de la zona.
Lo cultural puede estar lleno de las costumbres y tradiciones, en muchas de ellas ancestrales y que poseen el poder de demostrar a trabes de bailes, danzas o cualquier otra expresión, la creencia real y el sentir de un pueblo.
Es interesante la indumentaria que se usa en el baile que nos expones en tu publicación. Me sorprendió mucho ese peso de hasta 40 kilos. Se debe tener una preparación y un entusiasmo real para participar en este evento.
Asumo que los participantes siente un gran orgullo el poder tener la oportunidad de realizar esta actividad.
Gracias por mostrarnos parte de la cultura de Indonesia. Estoy muy agradecido por ello.
Hasta la próxima...
That is the uniqueness of the culture in each country, the traditions that are constantly preserved in our country. Nice to hear your comments, have a nice day.
Welcome @fantvwiki! It's great to hear from you and learn about the Reog Festival in Ponorojo, Indonesia. Your description beautifully captures the vibrancy and cultural significance of this unique celebration. Your memories of watching Ryog dance in Jakarta, despite not being able to attend the festival in Ponorogo itself, highlight the broad appeal and pride Indonesians take in their cultural festivals. Thank you for sharing this wonderful glimpse into Indonesian culture. I wish you great happiness and health as you continue to explore and celebrate the unique festivals of your homeland. Best luck in the contest!
Hello friend, @fantvwiki
This festival in your country seems interesting to me and made some questions. What is the reason for using mooyu feathers with this tiger-shaped mask? You said it weighs 40 kilos, I think it weighs a lot. Does one man dance using this mask? I want to see it from the front. Indeed, this festive dress and mask of your country looks attractive and there is a reason for this. Good luck to you.
