Between the enchanting mountains, stars, and fog of Java, lies the sacred shrine on the Dieng Plateau, known as Prahu. This ancient name echoes the rich history of this land, where the crews of traditional Sri Lankan fishing praus once sailed, their boats mirrored in the still waters. Each fisherman, clad in headscarves, paddled their outrigger boats with dedication and skill, their daily catch a testament to their connection with the sea. The Proa, a traditional Indonesian boat from Makassar, shares a similar spirit, a symbol of the enduring maritime traditions that have shaped the cultures of Sri Lanka and Indonesia for centuries.
