Originally, the name of Sadranan is derived from the Javanese word "nyadran" which means ritual activity of offering to God or thanksgiving ceremony performed by fishermen. This activity is held in order to show their gratitude to God, the creator of the sea, for the prosperity and abundant fish catch. Nyadran is one way to remind the people of His power through His creation; ocean, mountain, sky and anything we can see and touch. For this reason, the local people conduct Nyadran ceremony to fuse together into His power with gratitude for God's blessings.
