The couple Denny Caknan and Bella Bonita have just held a tedak siten event for their daughter, Sabil Maratungga Cundamani, who is familiarly called Dek Cunda. The event took place on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, at their residence in Ngawi, East Java.

During the procession, Denny and Bella also wore clothes that matched Cundamani. The event was attended by many invited guests who went home with parcels containing food and souvenirs. So, what were the contents of the parcels?
A netizen shared a video of unboxing a package he received. In the video uploaded by the TikTok account @metalklenik, the package apparently contained various interesting foods and souvenirs. " We're reviewing again thanks to e Dek Cunda. Pokoe madaaaang. Always be healthy for Dek Cunda and his family... @DENNY CAKNAN @Bellabonita ," he wrote, Friday (9/27).
The parcel consists of two large bags with different contents. One bag is decorated with animated characters and Cundamani's full name. The first bag contains food wrapped in beautiful cardboard, including instant tea, cakes, risoles, traditional snacks, and heavy meals.

Many people appreciate that even though he is an artist, the parcels still maintain the nuance of delicious village food.
Tedak siten is a Javanese tradition that is performed when a child first learns to step on the ground. This event is solemn and sacred, and Cundamani carries out each procession calmly.
In that moment, Cundamani wore a pink kebaya that matched Bella Bonita, while Denny Caknan appeared in a brown beskap and blangkon. Funnily enough, Cundamani also wore a small bun on his head.
During the tedak siten procession, Cundamani was not fussy and was accompanied by both of her parents. She performed the procession of titi jadah, which is part of the tradition. When put in the chicken coop, Cundamani chose a pink microphone toy, which is said to represent her favorite.
