Pikukuh Baduy

Pikukuh Baduy (Badui: ᮕᮤᮊᮥᮊᮥᮂ​ᮘᮓᮥᮚ᮪), or the Baduy customary prohibitions, is one of the Sunda Wiwitan religious ideology commonly believed or adhered by the Sunda ethnic of Baduy, which contains several religious regulations, especially regarding the Sunda-way of life.[1] The rules are immutable; Baduy society should not change and violate the rule, because according to their belief, everything in life is already determined.[1]

All Baduy that follows Sunda Wiwitan religion must follow their religious pillars (rukun Baduy) which contains Sunda Wiwitan beliefs such as: ngukus, ngawalu, muja ngalaksa, ngalanjak, ngapundayan, and ngareksakeun sasaka pusaka.[1] The rules must be adhered from traditional leaders called Pu'un.[1] Pu'un must be respected and followed because Pu'un's are descendants of the Batara.[1]
