Padusan (meaning “to bathe” in Javanese dialect) is a Javanese Muslim custom widely in practice in Yogyakarta region of central Java Indonesia. This custom usually performed before Ramadan start in which all elder younger boys and girls dip into pools stream to purify them ahead of Ramadan.

Historical Overview

Padusan traditionevery month before the month of Ramadan the meaning continues to shift following the times. No longer to cleanse themselves, namely rokhani and physical, but also become entertainment and tourism that is cheap.The heritage of the Wali Songo heritage was originally believed to be a tradition for cleansing oneself physically and spiritually, before performing fasting in the month of Ramadan. In the past, this tradition was carried out by visiting springs that people believed or believed could bring blessings. Residents of a large bath in that place, by cleaning the body from head to toe It is said that in Yogyakarta the tradition of Padusan has existed since the reign of Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono I. This tradition was routinely carried out on H-1 Ramadhan or the day before the fasting month in mosque pools and springs determined by the palace. Usually only men do the padusan by throwing themselves into the pool. Continuing with playing water together in that place. Whereas adult women do not do padusan with men in the same pond. Entering the 1950s the tradition of padusan in the palace mosque pool and source of water began to be abandoned by the community. In its development, padusan is interpreted as physical cleansing and rokhani, which can be done anywhere, and can be done alone.After the 1970s this tradition still continued to be of interest to the people, even the trend was carried out together, men and women mixed in the same place, namely public baths and rivers. Padusan has become a lively entertainment and tour. But over time, many shifts in the concept and ritual of padusan from just cleaning activities became a kind of cultural event, so we can see this padusan activity carried out accompanied by various entertainment such as campursari music and "dangdutan". On the other hand, men and women who are already acutely baligh take a bath together in a pond or river, by opening each other's genitals, so that the purpose of cleaning activities is to become an eye wash. The model of activity that shifts in this direction clearly does not enter into a strict Islamic culture in regulating the interaction between men and women who are not their followers. Let alone see genitals, or the shape of a woman's body that forms due to wet clothing. An adult woman showing her hair in front of a man who is not just her husband is forbidden. Moreover, in discussing the jurisprudence of worship, bathing before the entry of Ramadhan does not include forms of worship such as the circumcision bath when it will enter the 1st Shawwal (Eid) or when it will enter the 10th Dulhijah (Eid al-Adha). So bathing before entering the month of Ramadan is a normal bath, as well as taking a shower every day to cleanse the body. Bathing the model is natural, which is done as long as it does not exceed the things that are forbidden such as opening aurat in public.the Padusan Ritual is a culture of Javanese acculturation and Islam which aims to purify oneself into the month of Ramadan the next day. The Javanese community has original beliefs in the lives of its people,namely animism and dynamism. Then, the arrival of Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam encouraged the creation of more complex Javanese culture. The inclusion of the three religions into Javanese society does not necessarily eliminate the taste and form of glorification that was previously used in the beliefs of the Javanese community, thus, the acculturation between Javanese culture and the belief that is formed and the religions that came later in Java.
