Gabag: Seni Persembahan Temiar

Gabag is one of the important medical-related ritual forms in the life of the Temiar tribe. This ritual is also known to the general public as “sewang.” Among the Temiar tribe, the gabag ritual, presented in the form of tradition, has its own uniqueness and special significance. Among other things, it has a close connection with belief in supernatural powers and the relationship between humans and the natural environment. The influence of beliefs and symbols in this ritual is not widely known and understood by the general public. Therefore, it needs to be explored and understood to understand the meaning of the gabag offering in that community.
