Traditional storage of paddy by the Baduy indigenous people

Paddy barns with various regional names (leuit, rangkiang, kate kesu, ruangan padi, bale lumbung, etc.), are one of the local wisdoms of communities in traditional villages. The paddy barn can store rice for a period of years. In some areas, rice (which is processed into rice) is not only intended as a food reserve for the local community, but is also used for traditional parties, for guests and in emergencies.
