PublicAn enormous effigy is erected in the house. Its name is anak dara (sister, virgin) or tumba'. It is erected just above the central pillar (ariri' posi: navel pillar), reserved for the founding houses. The officiants feed it from morning to evening: rice, pigs, and bananas, among other foodstuffs. It is sung and prayed to. Fire-walking is performed in its honor. A group of noble girls are enclosed beside it. One woman stays enclosed in the house for a year. The house is considered to be pregnant.
Une effigie est érigée dans la maison, le long du pilier central (ariri’ posi), exclusif aux maisons « mères ». Cette effigie se nomme anak dara (sœur, vierge) ou tumba’. Pendant la durée de la fête, les officiants lui donnent à manger du matin au soir : riz, porcs, bananes… Elle est chantée et priée. Des officiants marchent sur des braises devant elle. À ses côtés sont recluses un groupe de jeunes filles nobles dont certaines restent enfermées pendant un an. La maison est alors considérée comme enceinte. (French)
