Sometimes, the groom also wears an unbuttoned jacket. The lower part consists of long pants wrapped with a fabric featuring a halilipan pattern around the waist. The Banjar Baamar Galung Pancar Matahari outfit reflects influences from Javanese and Hindu cultures, especially in its decorative elements.
