Every community has unique and different traditions and cultures. These cultural differences create different local wisdom in each community. For people of Lombok, one of the traditions that has become wisdom is lighting theDilah Jojoror often called the Maleman tradition. This tradition is one of the local wisdoms that can be found especially for people of Jabon Tentan Village in Bagu Village, Pringgarata sub-district, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara.
Dilah Jojor comes from the word 'Dilah' which means lamp, and Jojor is a form of lamp taken from the traditional language of the Sasak tribe. In the Maleman tradition, people usually use Dilah Jojor which measures 15 cm to 30 cm long. Dilah Jojor is made from Jamplung fruit seeds which are peeled and then dried in the sun until completely dry. Next, the dried Jamplung fruit is roasted until it is charred or black, then pounded and mixed with cotton until it is evenly mixed into a dough. The final stage is to attach the dough to a stick made of bamboo, the length of which can be adjusted to suit your needs. Jamplung fruit was chosen as the basic ingredient because it contains a lot of oil so that it can produce a fire that is good for lighting and the fire can even last for a long time.
Maleman tradition itself is carried out on the last 10 nights of the month of Ramadan on odd nights only, namely the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th. Usually, the people of Jabon Tentan village light Dilah Jojor in every house on the 25th and 27th. This tradition has not faded despite the time continuously developing with increasingly sophisticated technology, especially in terms of the availability of electric power as lighting which is evenly distributed throughout the Lombok community.

The celebration of Eid al-Fitr feels incomplete without the presence of ketupat. Actually, this dish is a Southeast Asian typical dish which is made from rice. To make ketupat, we have to first wrap it from woven young coconut leaves. Then, it is boiled until it is cooked.
Ketupat which exists in various regions in Indonesia has many different types, such as Ketupat Lemak in Pontianak. If Ketupat generally uses rice as its main ingredient, but Ketupat Lemak actually uses sticky rice. The cooking method is a little different. The process of making Ketupat Lemak begins with washing the sticky rice and placing it in woven coconut leaves. The sticky rice inserted must be full. This is certainly different from Ketupat rice which is usually only half filled, because rice will expand, while sticky rice will not. Then, the Ketupat is boiled in coconut milk that has been added with enough salt. Afterwards, the coconut milk is dry, the Ketupat can be removed and ready to be served.
Ketupat Lemak is usually eaten with other typical Eid side dishes, such as beef rendang, chicken curry, potato chili sauce or pineapple chili sauce. Apart from being eaten with the family at home during Eid, Ketupat Lemak and other typical Eid side dishes are also usually served as food by the people of Pontianak.
