On the southern slope of Mount Kamal or the peak of Canthuk, Hamlet Tonobakal, Hargomulyo Kapanewon Kokap, KuIon Progo Regency, there is a tomb of the Regent's family, known as the Giripurna grave. The Giripurna Tomb by the people of Kulon Progo is also often referred to as the Sireyap tomb - meaning a woman's long loose hair - because it is located not far from a rock depression that resembles a cave called "Sireyap Cave". It is mentioned in local stories, that in Goa Sireyap missing people are often found or often called in gondhol wewe (carried away by kuntilanak). The name Reyap in the understanding of the Tonobakal people is synonymous with the embodiment of the hair from the kuntilanak. Unlike the descendants of Singalodra and other groups who call it the Sireap-Giripurna tomb, people in Temon and the Kokap border, such as in Tonobakal, actually call Giripurno's tomb a 'gendheng tomb'. The term ita arose because until 1946 the red tiled roof of the vana tomb on the back of Mount Kamal could be seen directly by the public and the Provincial Highway (Yogyakarta-Purworejo). The term 'Gendheng' also shows the physical features of the Path tomb building around the 1930s because of the roofs of the people's houses around Temon or alang - alang (welik) and palm fiber. At that time tiled roofs were only commonly used for offices and local government centers. Although there are three names for Singalodra Tomb, such as Giripurno Tomb, Sireyap Tomb, and Gendheng Tomb, but in reality the people and descendants of Singalodra can understand that the terms for the names of the tombs are different - these differences refer to the tomb of Singalodro and his family who once ruled from a part of Adikarto Regency. at the transition of the 20th century. The existence of the tomb in the early 20th century was increasingly recognized by the people of Kulon Progo and Adikarta when the Ngongkek official, K.T. Suratani I and the first Regent of Adikarta, the successor and government of Karang Kemuning Regency, namely Raden Rio Wasadirja I (served 1898 -1904) were buried in the Ginipurno Peda cemetery in 1918. The Ginipumo tomb is famous not only because of this location for burying several important figures of the Adikarta government. The implementation of Nyadran Singalodra was initiated by KT Wasadirja in the first decade of the 20th century. The Singalodra Nyadran is then routinely held by the descendants of Singalodra who are scattered in various areas on the island of Java, even Indonesia and was designated as a Nyadran tradition by the first Regent of Kulon Progo, K.R.T. Surjaningrat. Some of the people of Kulon Progo later learned that the Nyadran Singalodra tradition was seen as an annual tradition. Because of this, the community around the tomb respects the "Yang Semare" figures at the Giripurno tomb, so the village head and Banjaran people follow and support this Nyadran ceremony and call it NYADRAN AGUNG giripurna or NYADRAN AGUNG KyTumenggung Singalodra. It is undeniable that the Giripurno grave site contains important figures who have their own historical background for the Adikarto community. Surjaningrat (1976) stated that the Singalodra grave site was initially (post-Java war) poorly maintained because many of his descendants lived in the Nanggulan area. Various efforts were then made to commemorate the services of his ancestors who were buried in Giripurna. The Singalodra Nyadran participants are said to have been attended by descendants of the Sigalodra breed from various parts of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Central Java as well as cities on the island of Java. The implementation of Nyadran Singalodra was also attended by descendants of the Singalodra breed, as well as the Muslim and non-Muslim Janten and Tonobakal people. This can be proven through the participants who were present by the management or family, not limited to certain beliefs or religions. Apart from that, the Giripurna cemetery is also filled with a variety of diverse procedures for prayer and pilgrimage activities by descendants of the Singalodra breed, such as holding tahililan by means of Islamic practices, as well as Christmas and New Year commemorations (since 1980 until now) (Dwiyanto 2004 :8) and the Mass of the Dead every 4th Tuesday in November by the descendants of Singalodra who are Christians. The Singalodra Nyadran program has been attended by Chinese descendants since its inception. It is stated that there are also descendants of the Singalodra breed of Chinese descent, such as the descendants of the RNgt. Martadiharja (Godean Sleman). This family is the son of K.T. Suratani I from the wife of a Chinese woman and Bagelen. About the presence of Chinese descendants at the Nyadran Singalodra event, it is still ongoing, especially from regions from various parts of Indonesia.
The Singalodra Nyadran event, which began long before independence, presented a new nuance of social interaction. This was evident when the people of Janten and Tonobakal were able to sit together at the Nyadran Singalodra event with the Singalodra Breed Family. Even though the people around Giripurno have inherited a collective awareness that has been passed down from generation to generation which states that the Singalodra breed is part of the social elite (Priayi), at the nyadran event all then sit together and unite. A unique feature called the wewaler inherited by K.P.H. Suryaningrat, namely the obligation to make ambeng Rasulan for families who have grave experts in the Giripurno graveyard. The nyadran event is held in several ritual sequences, such as grave pilgrimages, tahiilan, and sayings which involve the community around the Giripurno tomb and the extended family of the Singalodra breed. The routine implementation of the Singalodra Nyadran and the increasing number of participants each year then make the Singalodra breed administrators collect funds to support the implementation of the Nyadran tradition. The funds were used for the construction of the Giripurno tomb, including repairing facilities and expanding burial sites for the descendants of Singalodra.
The momentum of the Singalodra Nyadran event which was initiated since the time of the first Adikarto Regent and decided to become a great tradition of the Singalodra Tribe family by the First Regent of Kulon Progo (K.R.T. Surjaningrat) indirectly provided new and important inspiration for the holding of the Great Nyadran held by the Kulon Progo government. Nyadran Agung in Kulon Progo began to be held since the leadership of the Regent, Drs. H. Suratidjo (served 1991 -2001) and then the event was enlarged by Regent H. Toyo Santoso Dipo (served 2001 - 2011). In its context, the purpose of the nyadran agung in Kulon Progo is almost the same as Nyadran Singolodra, namely to remember and pray for the spirits of the predecessors who have built 'Bumf Kulon Progo' (Raufaidah & Sayekti 2018: 171). Singalodra's dedication and Nyadran are new in Kulon Progo Regency, especially in remembering the struggles of their predecessors. From the presentation of the historical facts above, it can be stated that the Giripurno tomb contains the bodies of important figures in the development of the Adikarto region in the pre-independence period. Starting from his descendants, then efforts were made to commemorate these figures and ancestors through the maintenance of tombs, pilgrimages, and nyadranan carried out by the Singalodra family in Plumbon (Lemon). Nyadran Singalodra's pioneering efforts at the Giripurno tomb and divided into several important periods or stages, such as the initial stage started by R.T. Wasadirja (died 1918) in 1900. The nyadran pilot was later called accompanied by efforts to restore and expand the Gripumo tomb area by R. Soengkono Soekodiprodjo / K.R.T Surjaningrat (since 1926) and the construction of an access road to the tomb by R. Danusumarta (Patih Banyumas) path 1934-1936. The next important period was the period 1900-1936 which can be said to be the pioneering period when nyadran was introduced to families and the community around Giripurno's tomb. The next development, was the period 1937 -1959 when K.R.T Surjadiningrat began to pioneer the Nyadran Singalodra business which could become a monumental event in Adikarto. This effort was then continued from 1970 to 2004 when Nyadran Singalodra was set to become an annual tradition for the Singalodra family and the community around the Giripurno tomb. The next stage is the 2004 period — now when the management of the Singalodra Nyadran tradition has been developed with various types of activities and the construction of tombs which have broad internal and external social functions. Nyadran Singalodra has played an important role in the development of a new civilization for the people and government of Kulon Progo Regency, such as the emergence of Nyadran Agung (since the early 1990s) and his success in opening up extensive interaction for descendants of Kulon Progo to recall his identity as a native of Kulon Progo through nyadran events, as well as commemoration of other important events (syawalan, mass of the dead, Christmas, etc.). The Singalodra Nyadranan event also has an important role in distributing Javanese social values - culture such as respecting ancestors, cleaning graves, sending dunga, and serving ancestors to the people of Kulon Progo. In addition, the implementation of the Singalodra Nyadran indirectly teaches moderate tolerance when various diversities come together at the nyadran event. All of these things then received a positive response from the people of Kulon Progo, such as the support of the community and government officials, as well as the contribution of the benefits of access to infrastructure to the community around the Giripumo grave. All of this shows that Nyadran Singalodra has social – cultural extensions that are very relevant for today's cultured human development. ***
