The water buffalo symbolizes virility and suggests wealth and status for the Toraja. Water buffalo motifs appear commonly on houses and granaries suggesting the link between extensive landholding and the ability to build and lavishly decorate traditional Toraja village structures. <br><br>South Sulawesi is home to the Toraja people, who live in a picturesque, mountainous region called Tana Toraja, or Toraja Land. At the center of Toraja culture is a fascinating and complex belief system surrounding death and the afterlife. Death is an elaborate affair, and the prolonged funerals are a major interest to visitors, who can attend the ceremonies but should show the same respect that they would for their own. The funerals typically involve feasting, buffalo sacrifice, dancing and martial arts, culminating with a procession that carries the coffin to its final resting place in one of the many caves on the surrounding cliffs, which are guarded by rock statues. <br><br>The Torajas are equally famous for their houses, which are called Tongkonan, or Family Houses. The houses are built on stilts, and each end rises like the horns of a buffalo, with the points always facing north and south.

水牛象征着阳刚之气，意味着托拉贾人的财富和地位。水牛图案通常出现在房屋和粮仓上，这表明拥有大量土地与建造和豪华装饰传统托拉贾村庄建筑的能力之间存在联系。

南苏拉威西岛是托拉贾人的故乡，他们生活在一个风景如画的山区，被称为塔纳托拉贾（Tana Toraja）或托拉贾地（Toraja Land）。托拉贾文化的核心是围绕死亡和来世的迷人而复杂的信仰体系。死亡是一件非常复杂的事情，漫长的葬礼是游客们最感兴趣的事情，他们可以参加葬礼仪式，但应该像对待自己的亲人一样表示尊重。葬礼通常包括盛宴、水牛祭祀、舞蹈和武术，最后由游行队伍将棺材抬到周围悬崖上众多洞穴中的一个安息之地，这些洞穴由岩石雕像守护。

托拉哈人的房屋同样闻名遐迩，这些房屋被称为 Tongkonan 或家庭房屋。房屋建在高跷上，两端像水牛角一样翘起，翘起的部分总是朝向南北。
