The blowing of cigarette smoke is believed to be able to 'break the tejo' or open the aura of the bride and groom. Besides emitting light or aura of beauty, the sembogo ritual is also believed to make the bride and groom 'manglingi' or look different than usual.

The translated text in English while preserving the HTML tags is: "The clove cigarette smoke is not only blown into the paes area, but also the shoulders, bun, and even the legs. The bride, who already looks very beautiful, is seen sitting calmly with her eyes closed."

The atmosphere of the ritual becomes very mystical. The video immediately sparked many comments and curiosity from netizens. "Please keep someone like this, even though the Javanese OJK makes them disappear," commented @fiannd24. "It's very rare, rarely do people do makeup like this... my mom says it's to dazzle the bride," responded ♡n. "In the old days, a wedding shaman not only had to be able to do makeup but also had to have suwok knowledge, especially to dazzle," wrote Putri Andini.
