Umbrella term
Covers dozens of groups differing in language and custom. Useful as a political category and misleading as an ethnographic one.
A Ngaju-speaking people along the Kahayan, Kapuas and Katingan rivers, bearers of Kaharingan and of the great mortuary ceremony tiwah.
Kaharingan
Its framework places Ranying Hatalla Langit in the upper world and Jata in the underwater world, with the tree of life Batang Garing as the emblem joining them. Since 1980 Kaharingan has been officially registered as Hindu Kaharingan, an administrative accommodation to the requirements of religious recognition.
