Desa Sade. Lombok Island is not only about Mount Rinjani the towering, it is also not just the border of charming beaches. More than that, Lombok's exoticism is more evident through the culture of its indigenous people, the Sasak Tribe.
Like the Osing Tribe in Banyuwangi, the Sasak Tribe in Lombok is known for their kekeh to maintain their ancestral traditions. Until now, all of these can still be found, especially in several traditional Sasak villages which seem to have not touched the slightest bit by modernization.
Previously, it was written about Senaru Village at the foot of Rinjani. Also, Gumantar Village which is the beginning of the village in North Lombok. In addition, there are still several more traditional villages, one of which we will know more closely in this article, the name Sade Village.

The Appeal of Sade Lombok Village
Visually, the uniqueness of Sade Traditional Village stands out through the vernacular architecture of its traditional houses. The people really maintain the authenticity and integrity of the traditional house. Built using local techniques and materials to realize its socio-cultural functions.
Standing on an area of about five hectares, the Sade Traditional Village is one of the hamlets in Rembitan Village, Pujut, Central Lombok. A conservation village as a cultural preserver that has existed since 600 years ago and has been a tourist destination since the days of the Dutch East Indies.
As vernacular architecture becomes increasingly difficult to find in modern times, Sade Village naturally offers something exotic that supports Lombok Island tourism. As a tourist village, Sade began to be legalized in 1990 by the 3rd President of the Republic of Indonesia, Mr. Bj. Habibi.
Over time, this village is increasingly in demand, both by domestic and foreign tourists. More than the charm of a traditional house, Sade Village is also a popular tourist destination for shopping for woven fabrics, accessories, batik and traditional Sasak clothing.
Sade women are very good at weaving, because it has become a necessity for them. As for the men are traditionally fighters. This can be seen from one of its traditional arts, namely Presean. Stick Fighting, Caucasians call it.
Another uniqueness of Sade Village is the style or lifestyle of the people who are very traditional and uphold local wisdom. The majority are Muslims, but some still adhere to Wetu Telu Islam, which only pray three times a day.
The Sade community, which number around 700, also has a unique tradition of marriage. The weddings there are still carried out in one clump in order to maintain the authenticity of its citizens. Uniquely, when getting married, women must first be kidnapped by the men.
Regarding the Sasak Sade
Traditional House, the unique Sade Traditional House accommodates 700 people consisting of 152 heads of families (KK) in 7 Neighborhood Associations (RT). A total of 152 houses have retained their authenticity. When building, they refer to warige boards from primbon tapel adam and tajul grandiose.
The Sasak Sade community used to build houses in the 3rd and 12th months of the Sasak calendar, namely Rabiul Awal and Dzulhijjah. They don't build during Muharram and Ramadan because they are believed to invite bad things. Illness and difficult sustenance for example.
The people in Sade Village are also selective in placing the houses to be built. For one thing, they did not build houses in the opposite direction or size that was different from the existing houses. Breaking this concept is considered against taboo (maliq lenget).
The house in Sade Village consists of various bales with thatched roofs. Each of them has its own function. There are Bale Lumbung, Bale Tani, Bale Jajar, Berugag / Sekepat, Sekenam, Bale Bonter, Bale Beleq Bencingah, Bale Tajuk, Bale Gunung Rate, Bale Balaq and Bale Kodong.
Among these bale bale, Bale Tani is the main one. Apart from being used as a place to live everyday, this bale represents the authenticity of material materials and is full of philosophical values. It is called Bale Tani because it is inhabited by those who are farmers.
Bale Bonter is the home of village officials and for customary trials. Bale Kodong is the residence of the elderly or those who are newly married but do not have a place to live. Likewise, other bales, each of which has its own function.
Another uniqueness of the Sade traditional house is the way to care for the floors. At certain times, people cover it with buffalo dung mixed with a little water. Its function is to be warm and away from mosquitoes. The floor is made of clay and rice husks.
