Begalan is a combination of dance and speech arts or art of comedy with accompaniment “gising”.
The uniqueness of this tradition stems from its name, namely begalan. In terms of Java and tradition, says robber or mugger has a negative connotation even indicate tense atmosphere that can make the trauma for victims. However, terms that are offered by community Banyumas begalan precisely the terms under the symbol full of meaning, both religious (in relation to God), as well as a symbol of human relations. Tradition is what makes a meaningfull begalan tradition still not cracked the shift and the development of the era. Existence is still strong in areas in Banyumas.
Begalan be one of the most popular traditions and attract the attention of people in Banyumas in addition to the tradition of "Kenthongan". Begalan event is a fusion of dance with "verbal speech" as part of the wedding ceremony. That is when the group of the groom entered the bride's courtyard area. The tools used were the kitchen appliances as luggage. Each luggage especially this kitchen tool has a symbolic meaning in accordance with the philosophy of Java, especially Java Banyumasan. Equipment that becomes the default instance: ilir (fan), ian, cething (basket), steamer, strainer waste, winnowing, sorokan, centhong, siwur, Irus, Kendhil, karo wangkring, and others.

In the philosophy of community Banyumas who is not his property but “bajang dibegal sawane” (blessing) of parents wedding. There are two dancers (male and “pancer” brother of groom), one charge of carrying kitchenware others served as a harrier (robbers). Harrier usually carry a wooden sword. Costume players is quite simple, they generally wear Java. Dialogue is delivered both players in the form of the symbol language that was translated from the names of the items taken.

Begalan has many meanings and symbols. The symbols are used is more likely closer to life and the gods as a regulator of the universe. However, many actors who then provide advice primarily to the interpretation as both the bride and the bridegroom. In other words, begalan can be used as a means of “propaganda”, a means of giving advice to the bride bride and groom both. There are some symbols, such as stingrays, siwur, packet, and others. The symbol "rays" can be understood that human beings should and should follow “watake” rays (the nature of rice). When the young man "nyungap", when you're old "mungkul". That is, if young people do goodness while there is still times and strength, if you are old “tawadhuk”. In this case, advice to the bridal couple to perform five occasions before coming five narrow-mindedness, as manifested in religious teachings.
"Siwur", meaning when it is content it should be "mawur". If already there is an excess provision, then immediately to charity. Man, there are "takere dewe-dewe" (a measure of its own), and man is his era, there was a time. "Taker" so the rank and degree. Likewise when giving science also have "takere dewe-dewe".
As with the "packet" or "steam", is kirata language meaning "mengku sepisan". We recommend that when someone get married intend to preserve his marriage, by doing "serawungan" or socially good. Do not be too often become a bride. It is nice to be a bride, but do not take it easy for a bride.
