Notolon Tarob Festival (24th-25th Oct 2018)
The Notolon Tarob Festival (Solar Eclipse) is held on the
24th of October to commemorate the solar eclipse that took
place in the Matunggong District on the same date in 1994.
This phenomenon is rare and highly feared by the Rungus people
as they believe an eclipse is a sign of disaster if they are
unable to appease a young sky god named Tarob. The celebration
is held for several hours in a longhouse, where family and friends
gather to sing and dance to the mesmerizing beat of the gong.
