maligey
A decorated structure (esp. for the celebration of a graduation from the studies in the Qur’an).
The structure is made of a center post with a firm base. Some distance from the ground boards are fixed to make a platform that is surrounded by carved and painted boards. On this platform rice cakes panyām, and/or vegetables, rice, oil, coconut, sprouting coconut pentusan, - anything for cooking - are piled. A roof is made of pieces of banana trunk on which another kind of rice cakes are fixed. This again is decorated with flags, eggs, candy, and other decorations including flower-like things made of rice flour and water dried in the sun or halfmoon shaped rice cakes panyam (selibulan) fixed on sticks. Sometimes a maligey has three or more stories each one with its roof.
