 They sing a Maras Taun song together to accompany the dance.After the dance ends, a village chief (a Muslim leader) appears and leads the people in prayer.The chief burns a piece of agarwood which causes a fragrant smell; then, he says the prayers and blesses two pieces of sacred leaves called "daun hati-hati" or "daun kesalan", a variety of medicinal mint also known as Asian oregano.
