Sisingaan, also known as Gotong Singa, Singa Ungkleuk, Singa Depok, Kuda Ungkleuk, Pergosi, or Odong-odong, is a traditional Sundanese lion dance that originated in Subang, West Java, Indonesia.[1] This lion dance performance is marked by a form of an ark or palanquin that resembles a lion. The lion ark or lion-shaped effigy is carried by a group of dancers who perform various attractions accompanied by traditional music.[2]. This dance is usually performed to celebrate a child's circumcision ceremony, where the child is carried on the lion around the kampung (village).[3]
