Kambira Baby Graves

TIME : 2016/2/17 12:38:34

Torajans traditionally bury babies in trees and this is one of the biggest of such graves in the region, holding around 20 deceased infants. By Torajan definition a baby is a child who hasn't yet grown teeth. The site is a shady, tranquil spot. The babies' bodies are buried upright and the belief is that they will continue to grow with the tree. Kambira is 1km south of Sangalla and served by Kijang from Makale.
