Miring (ritual)

Miring is a traditional ritual performed by the Iban people to give honor to Petara (God), Orang Panggau & Bunsu Antu (spirits) and Petara Aki Ini (dead ancestors). The act of miring is a type of religious ritual conducted based on the belief in seeking assistance from Petara to realize a specific wish by presenting offerings such as food arranged on plates (piring). Hence, the name of the practise is derived from the word "piring", where miring means "to make offerings with plates".
