satu upacara mering sandau ari dengan menilik nasit melalui ati babi.
a ceremonial miring sandau ari of pork by storing it through the liver of a pig.
Gawai Sandau Ari or midday festival is only held during day time at the ‘tanju’ (veranda of longhouse).
he womenfolk brewed the ‘tuak’ and cooked the traditional cakes ‘sarang semut’ and ‘penyaram’ together with other ‘miring’ items such as ‘rendai’ (pop rice) and ‘tumpi’ (rice cake).

For the men, they were tasked with the preparation of a temporary ‘tanju’ structure where the ritual was to be held.
After the recitation of this prayer, the guests were served with ‘tuak’ on the ‘tanju’, followed by slaughtering of a pig.

The feast chief later read signs in the pig liver to foretell the future according to Iban tradition.

The merry-making started after it was all done.
