Beliefs

Kaharingan cosmology holds that the universe consists of three layers: the sky (upper realm), the earth (middle realm), and the underworld (lower realm)—a structure that resonates with the Three Realms concept. The Balian (shaman) serves as a mediator between these realms, performing rituals to maintain cosmic balance.

Rituals

The most important ritual is Tiwah (secondary burial), a complex ceremony to send the soul of the deceased to the afterlife. Other rituals include harvest ceremonies, healing rituals, and the mangure (longhouse blessing).

Modern Status

Kaharingan was officially recognized as a religion in Indonesia in 1980, though many Dayak have converted to Christianity and Islam.
