Natural Stone in Indonesia

Tread Stone, Mount Paseban, nearby Mount Lalakon Bandung, West Java

Lalakon mountain hill is surrounded by several others such as the hills Paseban, Pancir, Paninjoan, Pasir Malang. On the hill Paseban there are three pieces of stone, two of whom look like an adult human foott, and soles of the feet of children.

According to Edi, if it’s true heritage, they could be from the time of the megaliths. Palm stone has also been found in other places, such as Ciaruteun inscriptions, relics Purnawarman King of the Kingdom Tarumanegara . “Cap soles of the feet are usually enshrined as a monument to commemorate the leader of a region,” said Edi.

The stamp of the foot is also closely related to the concept Triwikrama or three steps that evolve in time. At that time, they believe if someone will ascend into the world of the gods, they should be kicked so hard to be able to jump very high.

Meanwhile, on Mount Lalakon there are also several rock sites, such as Batu Lawang, Pabiasan Stone, Stone Shop, Stone Fertilizer, Renges Stone, Stone elephant, and a long stone that lies on top of the peak.

Refer According to Abah, community leaders Badaraksa Village, philosophically, Mount Lalakon are symbolic of a play of human life. The stones were representing various professions play or selected by humans.

However, the presence of the stones were often misused. Many people come to place a stone on Mount Lalakon looking pesugihan. In fact, according to Jujun, Islamic religious leaders in that place, had many people come to Batu Gajah sought inspiration gambling tail.“Many of them managed to win,” said Jujun.

Jujun explains, in Mount Lalakon also routinely held rituals starting reinforcements, namely by making the rice cone and then distributed and eaten by the population. “This event is held every year, usually every 1st Syuro.”
