IT WAS a nostalgic trip down memory lane for many visitors to a Hari Raya Aidilfitri do organised by d’Tempat Country Club in Bandar Sri Sendayan near Seremban, Negri Sembilan, as they had a chance to try their hand at playing traditional games once synonymous with village life.

Themed “Riuh Raya”, the event gave visitors the opportunity to take part in games such as batu seremban, congkak and tikam- tikam and be entertained by troupes performing traditional Malay dances like joget-joget raya and songs.
