Mudik refers to the mass exodus of Indonesians from urban areas to their hometowns, villages, or other destinations to celebrate Lebaran with their families.

Mudik has become an annual event that often involves long journeys, heavy traffic, and crowded public transportation. Despite the challenges, it is a cherished tradition for most Indonesians, who long for the opportunity to reunite with their families, participate in local festivities, and enjoy traditional meals and delicacies such as ketupat, rendang, and opor ayam. | |||
== | == Buka Puasa == | ||
Buka Puasa, or "breaking the fast," is the daily evening meal shared by Muslim families during Ramadan, and it is an integral part of Idul Fitri. It usually starts with the consumption of dates and a glass of water, followed by a multi-course meal that varies by region and cultural background. | |||
Popular dishes for Buka Puasa include Kolak, a banana and cassava dessert in coconut milk, and Soto, a savory soup with various ingredients such as beef, chicken, or tofu. The meal is also a time for socializing and strengthening familial bonds. | |||
