Plate dance from western Sumatra is thought to date back to the 12th century. Before Islam came, this plate dance was used to worship the Minangkabau people to the Goddess of Rice for the Harvest.
Arrival of Islam brought changes to the beliefs and concepts of this dance. Now the dish dance is no longer offered to the gods, but instead is performed as a means of entertainment such as weddings or traditional ceremonies

A traditional iron smith, often referred to as a blacksmith, is a skilled artisan who works with iron and other metals to forge tools, weapons, and various objects. Historically, blacksmiths used a forge to heat metal until it was malleable, then shaped it using hammers and anvils. Their work was crucial in crafting everyday items, from horseshoes to kitchen utensils, and they played a vital role in many communities before the advent of industrial manufacturing. Blacksmithing techniques and tools have evolved over time, but the fundamental skills remain rooted in tradition. Special trip with @ronistours
