Tingkeban is a Javanese prenatal ceremony held during the seventh month of a woman's pregnancy, also known as mitoni. The ritual is also known as slametan mitoni, another name for the slametan rudjakan, which is held when rice in the field is almost ripe and can soon be harvested. Tingkeban is conducted by village midwives and is performed on the seventh, 17th, or 27th day of the seventh Islamic month of the pregnancy, at 7 am. In some locations, the tingkeban is only done for the birth of the first child in the family, whereas others hold a shortened version of the ritual that does not involve ritual bathing or distributing rujak.
