Heritage
What is Tarombo?
Tarombo is the Batak genealogical tradition — the structured record of family lineage, usually traced through the father’s line (marga).
More than a list of names, tarombo is identity: it tells you who your relatives are, which marriages are proper under adat, and how you stand within the wider Batak social world.
This website brings that tradition into a modern, cinematic interface — so every generation can find their family name and begin exploring their roots.
