Sandung or sandong is the ossuary of the Katingan, Ngaju, and Pesaguan people native to southern and central Kalimantan in Indonesia who still remain of the Kaharingan religion. The sandung is an integral part of the Tiwah ceremony of the Ngaju people, which is basically a secondary burial ritual where the bones of the deceased are taken from the cemeteries, purified, and finally placed in a sandung.
