Gul-Gul (bath) is done one week after the burial as a means of release from the physical and emotional stress suffered by the family during the duration of the wake. A magimmum performs the gulgul with the bereaved family in the river. Before the gul-gul the magimmum prepares the following: one (1) white mature rooster and plain cooked glutinous rice. The rooster must be dressed by manually pulling all feathers then cutting it into four pieces and grilling it. No condiment or salt will be used. The magimmum also brings with her a little portion of burnt hay ash placed in a coconut shell. She then calls the family member one by one into the river and administers the pouring of the ash mixed with water over their heads. She turns each member three times and quickly plunges him/her in and quickly pulls him/her out from the water. After this purification rite, the whole family must consume the rice and chicken with no left overs. The chicken bones must be thrown into the river.
