Abstract
Many people should be aware of the munggah molo tradition. The purpose of this study is to characterize the structure, significance, and use of the munggah molo tradition. An technique based on folklore is employed in this study. Qualitative descriptive research methodology was employed in this study. The findings of this study demonstrate that the Sumub Lor Hamlet inhabitants follow the Munggah Molo custom, which has been passed down from generation to generation, when building a dwelling. Processions such pitung (calculating good time), munggah molo (raising the highest wood to support the roof), and sitting batur (building foundations) are part of this custom. Every step reflects thanksgiving and a plea for salvation, and has a profound spiritual and symbolic significance. A harmonious life for the occupants of the new residence is also hoped for, together with blessings of good fortune. The walimahan procession, a group prayer for the protection and blessings of the newly constructed house, marks the conclusion of the custom.
