Jayapura – The Halal Bihalal gathering held by the Minangkabau community in Jayapura City was made even more festive with the presence of three Gadih Minang (Minangkabau maidens), who gracefully served as greeters for the event.
Dressed in vibrant and intricately detailed traditional Minangkabau attire, the three young women captivated the attention of the guests. The shimmering songket fabric, iconic Minangkabau headpieces, and their warm smiles offered a heartfelt welcome to everyone attending the celebration.
The trio was specially appointed to greet guests and introduce elements of Minangkabau culture during the family-oriented Halal Bihalal event. Their presence not only enlivened the occasion but also served as a symbol of preserving Minangkabau heritage in the diaspora—especially in the eastern part of Indonesia.
The appearance of the Gadih Minang was a testament to how customs and traditions continue to thrive in the hearts of those living far from their ancestral homeland.
