Tomb of Daeng Parani revisited

Continued from The unique mosque at Sidam Kiri revisited.


Next to be revisited is the tomb of Daing Parani at another part of Sidam Kiri.


For the record Daing Parani is known as a Bugis warrior prince who lived in the 18th century AD.



Despite being dead for almost 300 years he is still famous as the eldest among 5 powerful Bugis warrior prince brothers.


Their exploits especially in war shaping the sosio-politics of the Malay Archipelago are well-known in history. Unfortunately Daeng Parani is said to meet his demise here while assisting the Sultan of Kedah against his younger brother's usurpation of the Kedah throne.


Again as in the case of the unique mosque at Sidam Kiri, this is the wife and baby's first visit here. Recital of the Al-Fatihah, the opening verse of Quran for the soul of Daeng Parani please.
