Secretary Lawang Agung village Mr. Zairin with Depati Krio Tandan gravestone
This cemetery have two gravestones as we see at photo. The highest and large one sloping to the north. This graves stone believe by many person nearby as a measure human power if he/she possible to be leader in future. The way is easy to measure, we just stand up beside the gravestone, and start to measure, who the highest? If the person highet or as same as height with the gravestone, thats possible in future this person will be a leader, may be tobe head of government or some thing kind of it. Makam ini terdiri dari dua batu nisan. Yang besar agak condong menghadap ke arah utara. Nisan yang besar ini di percaya punya kekuatan untuk mengukur layaknya seorang jadi pemimpin di masa depan atau tidak. Caranya hanya dengan berdiri di samping batu nisan tersebut, dan perhatikan apakah orang yang berdiri tersebut lebih tinggi atau lebih rendah. Bila sama atau lebih tinggi dari nisan kemungkinan di masa depan orang tersebut bisa jadi pemimpin, mungkin camat, bupati, kepala desa, dsb nya. Percaya tak percaya, banyak orang yang bertubuh tinggi tak bisa menyamai tinggibatu nisan ini, tapi yang punya postur sedang dan biasa justru ada yang sama tinggi. Suatu keajaiban yang banyak di percaya masyarakat rejang lembak disini dan suku suku sekitarnya. Believed or not, some time, a person with highest one, still shorter than this gravestone, but the person with average, look like as same as height with this gravestone, eventhough this seldom heaven. So thats way many rich person come to here and try to measure his possibility in future to be a leader or not. Believe it or not it is still heaven today, many person come to this site.(Oral source : Mr Jamal, 26-07-09) Tempat ini juga jadi tempat membayar nazar, saat admin ke sini, banyak sekali tempat bekas sesaji, dan bekas penziarah memotong kambing atau ayam sebagai pembayar nazar setelah niat terkabul.
