Festival
which is a symbol of custom Kuantan community is actually has a long history.
It is said that the tradition of sailing with boat baganduang has existed since
the time of the first kingdoms. This boat is usually used by the king as a
means of transportation. Gradually this sailing tradition is then used to
deliver orange juice (lemon) by son-in-law to the in-law's house in tradition
of welcoming Eid al-Fitr. In the Kuantan community tradition, there is a habit
of ritua orange bath (balimau bath), as a symbol of self-cleansing in the
morning ahead of Idul Fitri. Well, the habit of using the boat is nurtured and
nourished by local people and is now manifested through Baganduang Boat
Tradition. Tradition of boat baganduang implemented by Lubuk Jambi community
until now still preserved as a form of local wisdom, because it contains
cultural values, ethics, morals and symbols that are very important adat
explained to the next generation. This tradition is one of the cultural
products which is the local wisdom that must be maintained and preserved by the
masyaraktnya, so as not to just disappear because of the development of the
era, therefore I as the next generation want to introduce to the public and
preserve this hereditary culture. And I also want kuantan people know with
their own local culture and able to explain what is contained and written with
the culture itself.
