"The Charm of Batik Sekar Arum Sari, Becomes the New Uniform for Indonesian Hajj Pilgrims"

"Dream - Minister of Religious Affairs Yaqut Cholil Qoumas launched the Indonesian Hajj Pilgrims Batik 1445 H/2024 M. The selected batik to be the uniform for the upcoming hajj pilgrims is the Sekar Arum Sari motif."

“Malam ini kita meluncurkan batik baru untuk jemaah haji. Kita tahu, jemaah haji bukan hanya spiritual saja, mereka juga sekaligus menjadi duta, sepantasnya pakaian yang akan digunakan adalah pakaian yang mewakili Indonesia,”

"expressed Gusmen while giving a speech at the event held at HR Rasjidi, Jakarta, on Tuesday, December 12, 2023, quoted from the Kemenag RI website."

"Yaqut stated that batik is not just a fashion, but an identity of the Indonesian nation. Therefore, it is important that the batik launched represents and becomes the identity of the Nation."

The translation of "Motif Sekar Arum Sari" to English is "Flower Pattern of Fragrant Flower."

The new batik for Indonesian hajj pilgrims is purple with a Sekar Arum Sari motif, inspired by white jasmine, kawung motifs, truntum motifs, songket and woven motifs, as well as the garuda bird.

"This motif takes the philosophy of Indonesia's national flower, represented by the white jasmine, which symbolizes purity, grandeur, simplicity, sincerity, beauty, and humility."

"This uniform is a batik selected through the Indonesian Hajj Pilgrims Batik Design Competition held since August 2023. This competition was won by Sony adi Nugroho, one of the 10 finalists of the competition."

“Those who win the competition will certainly receive appreciation, which is Rp78 million. But the most important thing, Insya Allah, is that those who create and design will receive good deeds from the batik used by the congregation,”

The translation of "ungkap Menag" to English is "reveal Minister of Religion."

Meanwhile, the Director General of Hajj and Umrah Organizers, Hilman Latief, stated that this new batik will replace the previous batik that has been used since 2011. “The previous batik has been used for more than 10 years, and it turns out it does not fully represent Indonesia's identity. Many people are not familiar with Indonesian batik uniforms. Therefore, we are holding a competition for the new batik,” said Latief. He explained that the new batik uniforms will be produced using the stamp method and will involve many MSMEs that meet the standards set by the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

“Each participant is estimated to need 3 meters of fabric for one batik, so it would amount to around 600 KM if laid out. This means it will involve many MSMEs to produce it, and this is also a form of our concern for MSMEs,”
The translation of "ujarnya" to English is "he said" or "she said." If you want to preserve any HTML tags, please provide the text with the tags included.
