In this tree there are some holes Tarra baby, and information obtained from the surrounding community that the estimated age of this tree range from the last 300 years in use by Passili which is one of society's belief that religion khalaik Toraja, in 1950, so if we look at how baby's corpse was placed in a rut. Why is this baby graves Tarra tree called Passiliran, More Trees Tarra 'as a cemetery because this tree has a lot of sap, which is considered as a substitute for breast milk. And they regard as will the baby be returned to her mother's womb. And hope, return this baby to the mother's womb will save the babies who were born later and wear religious ceremonies aluk Todolo and after several decades, the dead baby will be united with the Tarra tree, when I open one internet site, I found there note stating that Kambira is a unique six cemeteries located in Indonesia like, Imogiri In Yogyakarta, East Kalimantan Benuaq Graveyard, Lemo stone Tana Toraja, Tana Toraja Londa steep rock, and Trunyanese Bali.,When I leave this location that the Toraja are very rich in both natural and cultural objects, but the improvement of infrastructure facilities received less attention from local governments such as the path to the location that the community was said to have thirty years is still like this tetepa anpa asphalting.But unfortunately exotic Toraja tour Kambira and less promoted by the parties involved in introducing the cultural richness of this phenomenal Toraja, Toraja cultural charm would walk alone, without attention to a related party that is to say that nature tourism has been suspended animation Toraja.
