Cultural significance[edit]

Lupis is a popular dish during traditional ceremonies and celebrations in Indonesia. It is often served during Eid al-Fitr and other festive occasions. The dish is also a common offering in local markets and street food stalls, showcasing its widespread appeal and cultural importance.
