A lot of kind of puasas/fastings: mutih/whitening[?], ngalong/(as if a fruit-eating bat), ngrowot [as if a cassava-eating animal], ngebleng [uneating for the whole night and day and hiding from sunligh], ets.

Perhaps, the hardest puasa/fasting is NGRAME [whatever you do is to serve for the goodness (other people, other creatures, nature etc) without any hiden agenda].

why do your friend mutih fasting since 1st of Suro during njamasi/bathing pusaka? the should be a purpose behind?

warm salam,
OeS
