After carrying out the marriage vows, the bride and groom perform the Panggih Temanten Ceremony which is steeped in Javanese customs. The clothing worn is dodot or kampuh batik with the Indra Widagda Wariga Adi motif combined with the Sěmen Kidang motif. “(The motif) contains the hope that the teachings from parents and elders will be used as a guide for life, guiding one’s steps in wandering in the wilderness of life,” they said.

The Panggih Temanten ceremony begins with surrendering the sanggan pamethuking of the female Temanten. One of the stages carried out in this process is Balangan Gantal, where the bride washes the groom’s feet which implies the wife’s devotion to her husband and getting rid of temptation.
