Hello everyone! Good morning, good afternoon, good evening! [Musik]

Let me tell you a story about Thoriq Tomohon. One day, in a city called Klaten, there was a commotion. People were running and seeking shelter from an impending disaster. But amidst the chaos, there was one person who didn't join the frantic escape. Instead, he decided to stay and observe from afar.

Thoriq was curious about the recurring calamity that plagued the city every year. He wanted to uncover the mystery behind it. So, he ventured out to Bali to find answers.

Unveiling the Divine Secret

There, Thoriq witnessed a whirlwind forming and saw a figure emerge from within it. To his surprise, it was a deity! The calamity that befell Klaten was caused by none other than a god. But why would a god bring such misfortune?

Intrigued, Thoriq approached the deity and asked why it transformed into a destructive force of nature. The god then requested Thoriq's assistance and beckoned him closer to share its tale.

The deity revealed that the region of Ngaten had been suffering due to deforestation and pollution. The once lush forests were now depleted, causing rivers to run dry and fish populations to dwindle. People had been irresponsibly disposing of waste and extracting resources without considering the consequences.

Thoriq finally understood why the deity had become a harbinger of disaster. It was trying to teach the people a lesson about their reckless actions.

A Call for Change

Inspired by the deity's story, Thoriq returned to Klaten determined to make a difference. He rallied the community and together they embarked on a mission to restore their environment.

The community also took up the art of weaving traditional fabric called "lurik" as a symbol of gratitude and hope.

Every time they prayed, they adorned themselves with this beautiful fabric, expressing their appreciation for nature's blessings. It became a reminder for future generations to cherish
